Sensor name:
This is a user assigned sensor name, which is displayed in the project
explorer. A descriptive name allows the user to quickly pick the sensor from the list.
Description:
Verbose description of the sensor, which can provide clues to its location,
purpose, etc.
Sensor ID:
This is a system-generated sensor ID assigned at the time of sensor configuration
creation. This value uniquely identifies the sensor to this application and cannot be changed
by the user.
Date created:
The system-generated date of the sensor creation is useful for audit purposes.
This field cannot be edited and is set to the date when the sensor is enabled.

The sensor type is selected from the list of supported sensor types. (Vibrating
Wire is currently the only supported sensor type.)
