UnitModifier Provides the unit multiplier for the values
returned by this sensor. All the values
returned by this sensor are represented in
units of 10 raised to the power of the unit
modifier. If the unit modifier is –6, then the
units of the values returned are microvolts.
The units apply to all numeric properties of
the sensor, unless explicitly overridden by
the units’ qualifier.
