oIn the Sensor Identification text box, enter a unique name or identifier for the sensor.

oFrom the Energy Form drop-down menu, select the energy form the sensor will measure. Selectable options are stored in the Energy Form catalog. You will only be able to assign the sensor to meters with the same Energy Form property.
