Property Description Data Type
6 - Batteries maintain the time and date and
save the system’s BIOS conguration when
the system is turned o.
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.
The following table describes the properties and data type of the CIM Discrete Sensor class.
