Creating a ThingShape for Dynamic Characteristics of the MRI Machines
You must create a ThingShape that describes the managed or monitored properties of the MRI machines. All the machines have a temperature sensor for the liquid helium coolant (K), a vibration sensor for the patient bed (g0), and an acoustic sensor for the environment (dBA). Each property will have an alert.
Complete the following steps to create a new ThingShape with three properties that each have an alert:
  1. Create a new ThingShape and name it MRISensors.
  2. Under Entity Information, click Properties. Click Add My Property.
  3. In the Name field, enter Temperature.
  4. Configure the following property information:
    • Base Type—NUMBER
    • Units—K
    • Min Value—0
    • Logged—True (Select checkbox)
  5. Click Manage Alerts.
  6. In the Pick an Alert Type menu, select the type of alert. For a temperature property, an Above or Below alert is suitable.
  7. Add the alert Name, Description, and other necessary fields (fields vary depending on the alert type).
  8. Click Update.
  9. Repeat steps 2 through 6 to create properties for Vibration and SoundLevel. Configure the property information and alerts as necessary.
     Note
    Use Done and Add to stay on the Properties page and add another property.
