hardware or instrumentation
uses to determine the current
state of the sensor.
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.

CIM_NumericSensor
The CIM_NumericSensor class described in NumericSensor Properties returns numeric settings and may also support threshold
settings. Figure below shows the relationship among upper and lower critical and upper and lower non-critical threshold values. The
normal range falls between upper and lower non-critical thresholds.
