Parameters 
Description 
Sensor sens 
the Sensor object to be updated  
Double heartBeat 
How often the sensor communicates with the gateway if no activity recorded.  
Double awareStateHeartBeat 
How often the sensor communicates with the gateway while in Aware State.  
Double minimumThreshold 
Any assessments below this value will cause the sensor to enter the Aware State.  
Double maximumThreshold 
Any assessments above this value will cause the sensor to enter the Aware State.  
Double Hysteresis 
A buffer to prevent the sensor from bouncing between Standard Operation and Aware State when the assessments are very close to a threshold. For example, if a Maximum threshold is set to 90 degrees and a Hysteresis of 1 degree, then once the sensor takes an assessment of 90 degrees and enters the Aware State it will remain in the Aware state until the temperature readings drop to 89 degrees similarly, at the minimum threshold the temperature will have to rise a degree above the threshold to return to Standard Operation.  
Integer ctSize 
This value is defined by the physical setting on the current transducer. there is a slide switch on the bottom of the transducer, the value entered in this field must match what the transducer switch is set to. changing only the transducer or only this value will cause the sensor to report incorrect data. Values Low = 2, Medium = 1, and High = 0.  
Integer averagingInterval 
User defined value that determines how often the sensor will make an assessment. For example, if a value of 5000 is entered, then the sensor will make a measurement every 5 seconds an on the heartbeat it will deliver an average of all the measurements over that interval.  
Integer currentShiftAware 
This value determines how much of a change in current is required for the sensor to go aware. For example, suppose the value in this field is 1 amp. If the transducer is measuring 3 amps then drops to 2 amps the sensor will go aware and report.  
Integer failedTransmissionsBeforeLinkMode 
The number of transmissions the sensor sends without response from a gateway before it goes to battery saving link mode. In link mode the sensor will scan for a new gateway and if not found will enter battery saving sleep mode for 2 hours before trying to scan again. Lower number will allow sensors to find new gateways with fewer missed readings. Higher numbers will cause the sensor to hold it setting in a noisy RF environment better. (Zero will cause the sensor to never enter link mode. to find a new gateway channel the battery will have to be cycled out of the sensor.) 

 

Allows for the update of the specific type of sensor.
