4 - Current sensors measure

current readings.

5 - Tachometers measure

speed/revolutions of a

device. For example, a fan

device can have an

associated tachometer that

measures its speed.

6 - Batteries maintain the

time and date and save the

system’s BIOS configuration

when the system is turned

off.

OtherSensorType Description Indicates the

type of sensor when the

SensorType property is set

to Other.

string

PossibleStates Enumerates the string

outputs of the sensor. For

example, a NumericSensor

can report states based on

threshold readings.

string

CurrentState Indicates the current state

of the sensor. This value is

always one of the Possible

States.

string

PollingInterval Indicates the polling

interval, in nanoseconds,

that the sensor hardware or

instrumentation uses to

determine the current state

of the sensor.

uint64

CIM_DiscreteSensor

The CIM_DiscreteSensor class described in Table below has a set of legal string values that it can report. The

CIM_DiscreteSensor always has a "current reading" that corresponds to one of the enumerated values.
