[PATCH 07/14] thermometer: Reformat MeasurementReceived description

From: Andrzej Kaczmarek <hidden>
Date: 2012-09-25 14:52:36
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

MeasurementReceived method description is reformatted to be more
readable and consistent with other API documents.

Special values for Exponent and Mantissa fields specify now only NaN
value as this is only special value defined by HTS specification for
measurement.

-Methods		void MeasurementReceived(dict measure)
-
-			This callback gets called when a measure has been
-			scanned	in the thermometer. The Time entry in the dict
-			will be only present if the device supports storing of
-			data. The time value is expressed in seconds since epoch.
-			The value represented is (mantissa) x (10**exponent)
-			See foot note for special values when treating with
-			health devices. The Type entry is only present if the
-			measurement type is known. Otherwise, it is undefined.
-
-			Dict is defined as below:
-			{
-				"Exponent" : int8,
-				"Mantissa" : int32,
-				"Unit" : ("Celsius" or "Fahrenheit"),
-				"Time" : uint64,
-				"Type" : ("Armpit", "Body", "Ear", "Finger",
-					"Intestines", "Mouth", "Rectum", "Toe",
-					"Tympanum"),
-				"Measurement" : ("Final" or "Intermediate"),
-			}
-
-			For special cases, the exponent shall always be zero and
-			the mantissa should be one of following values:
-
-			NRes = -(2**23)
-			NaN = +(2**23-1)
-			INFINITY = (2**23-2)
-			-INFINITY = -(2**23-2)

+
+					Measurement value is calculated as

+
+				uint64 Time (optional):
+
+					Time of measurement, if supported by device.
+					Expressed in seconds since epoch.
+
+				string Type (optional):
+
+					Only present if measurement type is known.
+

+
