Measurement Application supports various operational parameters for triggered request.

Measurement Request Trigger Group defines the Trigger Group for the request. A trigger's Action Selector determines which measured parameter is requested.

NOTE: Action Selector 0xFF requests all measurements (in which they are sent 2 at a time with an interval of 2 seconds). Other Action Selector values can be used to request individual measured properties corresponding to the virtual channel number as per the above table.

The DEVICE ID for the Measurements is defined by the Device ID parameter, the same Device ID is used for Error Reporting. The Device ID will be unique per network to differentiate measurements from different devices. The devices monitoring the Measurement messages should keep track of the source network to differentiate if Device IDs are reused across multiple C-Bus networks.

If the Device ID parameter is left at its default value of 0xFF then the Unit Address is used as the Device ID in the Measurement Application messages, which ensures uniqueness. However, if the device is readdressed then any monitoring devices will also needs to be updated to match the new Device ID (It is recommended to leave the Device ID as the default value).
