To release or manage sensors/actuators:
You can multi-select sensors to release or manage them. Releasing is necessary when the maximum
number of managed sensors are in use, and you need to make a change, such as replacing old sensors
with new ones, or making space by removing an unneeded type and adding a different type. When you
manage sensors individually, you can manually select ID numbers--this allows you to simultaneously
release an old sensor if you select to reuse its assigned ID:
140). When you manage multiple sensors at once, ID numbers are automatically assigned, and nothing
else is changed or released.
1) Select the sensors/actuators that you want to manage/release from management.
2) Click
to view options and select Manage or Release.
• Release: The items are automatically released, and you return to the list. Newly released sensors

numbers. If a single item was selected, you can choose the ID number by selecting "Manually select
a sensor number." Click Manage and you return to the list. Newly managed sensors appear and will
show a status in the State column. They can now be renamed and configured.
