Reading Section

The Reading section displays the data received from the hardware.

Reading section of the Device TAB

Supply	Supply voltage in volts internally measured by the device (nominal value = 5V);
Sky	Infrared temperature measured by the infrared sensor (in hundredth of degree Celsius);
Sensor	Temperature of the infrared sensor capsule (in hundredth of centigrade Celsius);
Ambient	Digital value related to the voltage produced by NTC thermistor in contact with the metal bead;
