The purpose of this class is to monitor power supply voltages. For each voltage sensor (+5V, +12V, -5V, etc.), an instance is created in a container with a label describing its type.
If the computer’s configuration allows a reading of the voltages, the values will be available in the Voltage parameter and an alert will be triggered if they do not meet the automatically set thresholds. Otherwise, the Status parameter will inform you if a problem occurs with one of the voltages.

Locator
|
Helps to physically locate a component.

Status
|
Status of the voltage sensor.
Example: “OK” or “Alarm!! This voltage sensor is no longer detected".
|
Values:
OK; Warning; Alarm
|
Warning = “!”
Alarm = “
|
Voltage 
|
Displays the voltage reading.

 | "Status" is a text parameter that describes the overall status of the corresponding device or sensor. Alert conditions describe in symbolic terms what occurs in the "Status" parameter when thresholds are breached: one exclamation mark triggers a warning; two exclamation marks raise an alarm. |
Example
If BPM Express for Hardware detects that manufacturer-specified thresholds for voltage have been breached, the Status parameter will report “Warning! Although still not critical, the voltage level is out of the normal range." or “Alarm!! This voltage sensor is no longer detected", or as may be the case. The history graph shows the exact details of the problem, its consequences and recommended actions.
