rameter some additional information such as the timestamp for the event is
also reported.
To reduce the network traffic, the concept of deadband is also introduced
to allow generating events based on monitoring the analog inputs against
thresholds (deadbands). An analog input generates an event only when its
absolute value changes exceed a predefined threshold (deadband) so that the
small fluctuations of the analog value mapped to the analog input are filtered
out and will not be reported.
