Managed vs Unmanaged Sensors/Actuators
To manually manage or unmanage/release a sensor or actuator, see
Peripherals
(on page 258).
Managed sensors/actuators:
•
PX3TS communicates with managed sensors/actuators and retrieves their
data.
•
Managed sensors/actuators are always listed on the Peripheral Devices
page no matter they are physically connected or not.
•
They have an ID number as illustrated below.
•
They show one of the managed states. See
page 267).
•
For managed 'numeric' sensors, their readings are retrieved and displayed.
If any numeric sensor is disconnected or its reading cannot be retrieved, it
shows "unavailable" for its reading.
Unmanaged sensors/actuators:
•
PX3TS does NOT communicate with unmanaged sensors/actuators so their
data is not retrieved.
•
Unmanaged sensors/actuators are listed only when they are physically
connected to PX3TS.
They disappear when they are no longer connected.
•
They do not have an ID number.
•
They show the "unmanaged" state.
