Measuring Units

Measuring unit define the metric unit that is applicable to the sensor value. If it cannot be defined, N/A will be returned. Here is the list of possible values:

  • N/A → Not Applicable
  • kilometer → Distance
  • kilometers/hour → Distance/Hour (speed)
  • kilogram → Weight
  • hour → Time
  • degree → Angle (min = 0°, max = 360°)

e.g. heading = angle of positioning

  • celsius → Temperature in °C
  • liter → Volume
  • kilopascal → Pressure
  • volt → Voltage (min = 9V, max = 32V)
    • millivolt → Voltage - 1/1000 of a volt
  • kilowatt → Unit of Power
  • kilowattHour → KWh - Kilowatts measured within an hour

Special Cases

  • position
  • percentage → (min = 0, max = 100)
  • amount → defines the amount of data

e.g. satCount = number of satellites
