General of the object sensor

The "General" tab can consist of the following fields:

• Name. Name of the sensor.
• Sensor type. Type of sensor.
  • Absolute motohours. A sensor showing the total number of hours worked.
  • Accelerometer. Sensor, which allows to fix acceleration along the axes X, Y, Z. It allows to detect traffic accidents (road accidents). 
  • Absolute fuel expense sensor. A sensor that shows the fuel consumption for the entire period of operation of the car. 
  • Weight sensor. A sensor that shows the weight of the load. 
  • Ignition sensor. This sensor is used for the calculation of engine hours, as well as for the detection of trips and parking. 
  • Instant fuel expense sensor. A sensor that displays the fuel consumption from the previous message.
  • Voltage sensor. A sensor that displays the voltage value.
  • Engine speed sensor. A sensor that displays the engine speed.
  • Engine useful work sensor. Sensor, with which you can determine the coefficient when working under load. Can be used to calculate fuel consumption by calculation. 
  • Mileage sensor. A sensor that shows the distance traveled.
  • Temperature sensor. A sensor that shows the temperature value.
  • Fuel level sensor. A sensor that displays the fuel level value.
  • Pulse fuel expense sensor. A sensor that displays the accumulated value of the pulses.
  • Pulse fuel level sensor. A sensor that is used to calculate the amount of fuel in the tank.
  • Temperature factor. The coefficient that is used to calculate the fuel level at different temperatures in the tank.
  • Relative motohours. A sensor that displays the number of hours with regard to the intensity factor of the work.
  • Relative odometer. A sensor that shows the distance traveled from the previous message.
  • Binding driver. A sensor that allows you to assign a driver to an object, for example iButton.
  • Binding trailer. A sensor that allows you to attach a trailer to an object.
  • Custom sensor. An custom sensor for the calculation of any indicators.
  • Custom digital sensor. Custom digital sensor.
  • Counter. A sensor that allows you to calculate the number of certain actions.
  • Alarm button. A sensor that displays the alarm status (SOS).
• Unit. The unit of measure depends on the selected sensor type.
• Parameter. Select an parameter from the last message of the object, or enter the calculation formula (syntax of the Java programming language). For example, "odom*0.001" means the value of the message parameter "odom" should be multiplied by "0.001." For example "status.charAt(18)" means to get the 19th character of the message parameter "status". 
• Visibility. Flag for the visibility of the sensor in various places of the interface. 
• Smooth values. Flag for the sensor smoothing. Only available for certain sensor types. For example, the fuel level sensor can send data that jumps up and down, you need to set this flag to smooth it and fill in the "Messages quantity to smooth" field, which allows you to smooth out the incoming values to exclude unnecessary refuels and defuels. 
• Messages quantity to smooth. The number of messages for smoothing, should be odd.
