Sensors Framework

Sensors Framework provides a framework for creating plug-ins and connecting client applications with the sensor hardware.

Sensors Framework Overview
The Sensors Framework consists of a sensor server and channel based client APIs for supporting an extensible set of sensor hardware. The sensor server defines a plug-in interface for adding sensor plug-ins for any type of sensor hardware. The channel APIs enable client applications to interact with the sensor hardware.
Using Sensor Channels APIs
The Sensor Channel establishes a data exchange connection between the sensor framework and hardware using the sensor channel APIs.
Scaling Channel Data Values
The value of a channel data item can represent the actual or relative value of the measured quantity. The relative value is a scaled value that lies within the maximum and minimum values of the measured quantity.
