entPhySensorPrecision

Module: ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB

OID (symbolic): ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB::entPhySensorPrecision

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.99.1.1.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: EntitySensorPrecision

Access: read-only

Description: The number of decimal places of precision in fixed-point sensor values returned by the associated entPhySensorValue object.

This object SHOULD be set to '0' when the associated entPhySensorType value is not a fixed-point type: e.g., 'percentRH(9)', 'rpm(10)', 'cmm(11)', or 'truthvalue(12)'.

This object SHOULD be set by the agent during entry creation, and the value SHOULD NOT change during operation.

What is entPhySensorPrecision?

This read-only value gives the number of decimal places of precision to apply to fixed-point readings from the associated entPhySensorValue, and is set to 0 for non-fixed-point sensor types like percentRH, rpm, cmm, or truthvalue. Admins use it alongside entPhySensorScale to correctly format a sensor's raw integer value into a human-readable decimal reading. For example, a precision of 1 on a temperature sensor with raw value 254 would display as 25.4 degrees.
