Measurements

Measurements are a type of property.

They are usually used to represent an analogue (ie. not 1 or 0) signal coming in from the field, but can also be used to store almost any numeric value.

Measurements are an example of a complex property, in that the value is actually made up of several attributes:

NodeDescriptionExample
