Parameters 

Description 

ISensor sens 

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 ppm value will cause the sensor to enter the Aware State. 

double? maximumThreshold 

Any assessments above this ppm 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 ppm and a Hysteresis of 1 ppm, then once the sensor takes an assessment of 90 ppm and enters the Aware State it will remain in the Aware state until the reading drops to 89 ppm similarly, at the minimum threshold the temperature will have to rise 1 ppm above the threshold to return to Standard Operation. 

int? 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.)
