- Device Label. Should be unique and descriptive for easy identification.
- Sample Mode (advanced). Change the method used to sample data. NOTE: The default sample mode is COS and should not be modified unless instructed to do so. If set incorrectly, this setting can have a significant impact on system bandwidth and responsiveness.
- Change of State (COS) only sends data when it detects a change in value.
- Polled mode sends readings at a fixed interval.
- Sample Mode Options (advanced). Options are presented based on the Sample Mode selected.
- When Sample Mode is set to Change Of State, this specifies the minimum difference in wattage readings for a new data point to be recorded.
- When Sample Mode is set to Polled, this specifies the period in seconds at which data points will be captured.
- Sensor Label. A user defined label for identifying this sensor.
- Sensor Inverted. Flip the polarity of your sensors (i.e. negative readings will become positive readings and vice-versa).
- Current (A) Multiplier (advanced). An additional multiplier to be applied to your current reading.
- Voltage (V) Multiplier (advanced). An additional multiplier to be applied to your voltage reading.
