Possible values are:
0 - Unknown - Indicates the last requested state for the element is unknown.
2 - Enabled
3 - Disabled
4 - Shut Down
5 - No Change
6 - Offline
7 - Test
8 - Deferred
9 - Quiesce
10 - Reboot - Indicates a "Shut Down" and then moving to an "Enabled" state.
11 - Reset - Indicates that the element is first "Disabled" and then "Enabled".
12 - Not Applicable
.. - DMTF Reserved
32768..65535 - Vendor Reserved
SensorType
The Type of the Sensor, for example, a Voltage or Temperature Sensor. If the type is set to "Other", then the OtherSensorType Description can
be used to further identify the type, or if the Sensor has numeric readings, then the type of the Sensor can be implicitly determined by the Units.
Possible values are:
0 - Unknown
1 - Other
2 - Temperature - Measures the environmental temperature.
3 - Voltage - Measure electrical voltage and current readings.
4 - Current
5 - Tachometer - Measures speed/revolutions of a Device. For example, a Fan Device can have an associated Tachometer which measures its
speed.
6 - Counter - A general purpose Sensor that measures some numerical property of a Device. A Counter value can be cleared, but it never
decreases.
7 - Switch - Has states like Open/Close, On/Off, or Up/Down.
8 - Lock - Has states of Locked/Unlocked.
9 - Humidity - Measures the humidity in the environment.
10 - Smoke Detection - Detects the smoke in the environment.
11 - Presence - Detects the presence of a PhysicalElement.
12 - Air Flow - Measures the quantity of air flow in the environment.
13 - Power Consumption - Measures the instantaneous power consumed by a managed element.
14 - Power Production - Measures the instantaneous power produced by a managed element such as a power supply or a voltage regulator.
15 - Pressure - Is used to report pressure.
16 - Intrusion - Reports an intrusion of an enclosure regardless whether it was authorized or not.

SystemCreationClassName The CreationClassName of the scoping system.
SystemName The System Name of the scoping system.
TransitioningToState
Indicates the target state to which the instance is transitioning.
Possible values are:
0 - Unknown
2 - Enabled
3 - Disabled
4 - Shut Down
5 - No Change - Indicates that no transition is in progress.
6 - Offline
7 - Test
8 - Defer
9 - Quiesce
10 - Reboot
11 - Reset
12 - Not Applicable - Indicates the implementation does not support representing ongoing transitions.
A value other than 5 or 12 identifies the state to which the element is in the process of transitioning.
UnitModifier
The unit multiplier for the values returned by this Sensor. All the values returned by this Sensor are represented in the units obtained by
(BaseUnits * 10 raised to the power of the UnitModifier).
For example, if BaseUnits is Volts and the Unit Modifier is -6, then the units of the values returned are MicroVolts. However, if the RateUnits
property is set to a value other than "None", then the units are further qualified as rate units.
In the example, if RateUnits is set to "Per Second", then the values returned by the Sensor are in MicroVolts/Second. The units apply to all
numeric properties of the Sensor, unless explicitly overridden by the Units qualifier.
UpperThresholdCritical
The Sensor's threshold values specify the ranges (min and max values) for determining whether the Sensor is operating under Normal,
NonCritical, Critical or Fatal conditions. If the CurrentReading is between UpperThresholdCritical and Upper ThresholdFatal, then the CurrentState
is Critical.
UpperThresholdFatal
The Sensor's threshold values specify the ranges (min and max values) for determining whether the Sensor is operating under Normal,
NonCritical, Critical or Fatal conditions. If the CurrentReading is above UpperThresholdFatal, then the Current State is Fatal.
UpperThresholdNonCritical
The Sensor's threshold values specify the ranges (min and max values) for determining whether the Sensor is operating under Normal,
NonCritical, Critical or Fatal conditions. If the CurrentReading is between LowerThresholdNonCritical and UpperThresholdNonCritical, then the
Sensor is reporting a normal value. If the CurrentReading is between UpperThreshold NonCritical and UpperThresholdCritical, then the
CurrentState is NonCritical.
ValueFormulation
Indicates the method used by the sensor to produce its reading.
Possible values are:
0 - Unknown
2 - Measured - Indicates the value is measured directly by the sensor.
3 - Derived - Indicates the value is derived from other measured values that are not reported discretely by this sensor.

DCIM_Sensor
Caption The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.
CreationClassName
Indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this
property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified.
CurrentState The current state indicated by the Sensor. This is always one of the "PossibleStates".
DeviceID An address or other identifying information used to uniquely name the LogicalDevice.
ElementName
A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity
data, and description information.
Note: The Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not
reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a
Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and ElementName properties.
An enumerated value indicating an administrator's default or startup configuration for the Enabled State of an element.
