Problem Topic
SENSOR/PROPE: Only sensor with a SA?
Problem Description
Is SENSOR/PROBE the only kind of sensor which can have an SA (as it appears from the spec) and therefore the only one which can be OUTPUT/? Is PROBE the only sensor which can be calibrated using CALIB/? If not, why is probe the only sensor which provides access to SA data?

Resolution
Warning!!
The following statement is only a resolution to a Standard Improvement Request (SIR) and is NOT part of the current DMIS standard, nor is it guaranteed to become part of the next revision of the DMIS standard even if voted and accepted by the DMIS National Standards Committee. This resolution is tentative because it may not be incorporated into the next version of the standard, it could be changed prior to the next release, or it could be changed as the result of the "public review and comment" period required for the next version of the standard. If you choose to use this tentative resolution, you do so at your own risk since at this time it is not part of the DMIS standard.
This solution solves 8 SIRS, SIR 97-22, 98-3,98-79,98-106, 99-4, 99-5,99-7,and 99-8;

Notes
Added by Mike Holloway, hkm@ornl.gov on 7/30/1998
I could not find any reference to this SIR (other than existance in Gaithersburg minutes of 4/97) in any of the meeting minutes. The referral notice must have been written on the original SIR only.
Yes, a PROBE type sensor is the only type that can be output at the present time.
No, all sensor types can be calibrated using the CALIB statement if the DME supports it. Sensors can be calibrated outside of DMIS, and the CALIB statement could be ignored.
There is probably not enough experience on the DNSC with sensor types other than PROBEs to define an output format for the actuals for the other sensor types.

Accept Mike's answer as written. Table this SIR until the Seattle meeting and get the industry experts to answer this.
