MaxBrightness

This property defines the maximum value of brightness of the video output device. Different manufacturers may have different values.

MaxContrast

This property represents the maximum value of contrast of the video output device. Different manufacturers may have different values.

MaxQuiesceTime

The use of this property has been deprecated. When evaluating the use of Quiesce, it was determined that this single property is not adequate for describing when a device will automatically exit a quiescent state. In fact, the most likely scenario for a device to exit a quiescent state was determined to be based on the number of outstanding requests queued rather than on a maximum time. This decision is reevaluated and later. Deprecated description: Maximum time, in milliseconds, that a Device can run in a Quiesced state. The state is defined in its Availability and AdditionalAvailability properties, where Quiesced is conveyed by the value 21. What occurs at the end of the time limit is device-specific. The Device can unquiesce, can be offline, or can take other actions. A value of 0 indicates that a Device can remain quiesced indefinitely.

MCCSVersionNumber

This property represents the version number of the Monitor Command and Control Set (MCCS) standard recognized by the display.

OperationalStatus

Indicates the current statuses of the element. Various operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's values are self-explanatory.

Possible values are:

  • 0 = Unknown
  • 1 = Other
  • 2 = OK
  • 3 = Degraded
  • 4 = Stressed — Indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of Stressed states are overload, overheated, and so on.
  • 5 = Predictive Failure — Indicates that an element is functioning nominally but predicting a failure soon.
  • 6 = Error
  • 7 = Non-Recoverable Error
  • 8 = Starting
  • 9 = Stopping
  • 10 = Stopped — Implies a clean and orderly stop
  • 11 = In Service — Describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered.
  • 12 = No Contact — Indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it.
  • 13 = Lost Communication — Indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is unreachable.
  • 14 = Aborted — Implies an abrupt stop where the state and configuration of the element may need to be updated.
  • 15 = Dormant — Indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
  • 16 = Supporting Entity in Error — Indicates that this element may be OK but that another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking problems.
  • 17 = Completed — Indicates that the element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed), Completed with Error (failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation finished, but it did not complete OK or did not report an error).
  • 18 = Power Mode — Indicates that the element has additional power model information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association.
  • .. = DMTF Reserved
  • 0x8000.. = Vendor Reserved

OperationalStatus replaces the Status property on ManagedSystemElement to provide a consistent approach to enumerations, to address implementation needs for an array property, and to provide a migration path from today's environment to the future. This change was not made earlier because it required the deprecated qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is recommended that providers or instrumentation provide both the Status and OperationalStatus properties. Further, the first value of OperationalStatus should contain the primary status for the element. When instrumented, Status (because it is single-valued) should also provide the primary status of the element.

PhysicalSizeH

Horizontal screen size in cm.

PhysicalSizeV

Vertical screen size in cm.

PrimaryStatus

Provides a high-level status value, intended to align with Red-Yellow-Green type representation of status. It should be used with DetailedStatus to provide high level and detailed health status of the ManagedElement and its subcomponents.

PrimaryStatus consists of one of the following values:

  • 0 = Unknown — Indicates that the implementation is in general capable of returning this property, but is unable to do so now
  • 1 = OK — Indicates the ManagedElement is functioning normally.
  • 2 = Degraded — Indicates the ManagedElement is functioning below normal.
  • 3 = Error — Indicates the ManagedElement is in an Error condition.
  • .. = DMTF Reserved
  • 0x8000.. = Vendor Reserved
ProductCode

Product code of this monitor.

RequestedState

An integer enumeration that indicates the last requested or desired state for the element, irrespective of the mechanism through which it was requested. The actual state of the element is represented by EnabledState. This property is provided to compare the last requested and current enabled or disabled states. When EnabledState is set to 5 ( Not Applicable), then this property has no meaning. Refer to the EnabledState property description for explanations of the values in the RequestedState enumeration. Unknown (0) indicates that the last requested state for the element is unknown.

  • NOTE: The value No Change (5) has been deprecated instead of indicating the last requested state is Unknown (0). If the last requested or desired state is unknown, RequestedState should have the value Unknown (0), but may have the value No Change (5). Offline (6) indicates that the element has been requested to transition to the Enabled but Offline EnabledState. There are two new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of EnabledState. These are Reboot (10) and Reset (11). Shut Down requests an orderly transition to the Disabled state, and may involve removing power, to completely erase any existing state. The Disabled state requests an immediate disabling of the element, such that it will not execute or accept any commands or processing requests. This property is set as the result of a method invocation (such as Start or StopService on CIM_Service), or can be overridden and defined as WRITEable in a subclass. The method approach is considered superior to a WRITEable property, because it allows an explicit invocation of the operation and the return of a result code. If knowledge of the last RequestedState is not supported for the EnabledLogicalElement, the property is NULL or has the value 12 Not Applicable.

Possible values are:

  • 0 = Unknown
  • 2 = Enabled
  • 3 = Disabled
  • 4 = Shut Down
  • 5 = No Change
  • 6 = Offline
  • 7 = Test
  • 8 = Deferred
  • 9 = Quiesce
  • 10 = Reboot — Refers to doing a Shut Down and then moving to an Enabled state.
  • 11 = Reset — Indicates that the element is first Disabled and then Enabled.
  • 12 = Not Applicable
  • .. = DMTF Reserved
  • 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
