# Common MP parameters

The table below describes the MP common parameters. There are also specific MP parameters that depend on their GW types which are described in [Types of Measuring Points](/boomerang-3-domain-administrator-manual/admin/infrastructure/infrastructure__measuring_points/types-of-measuring-points.md). Some of the parameters must be unique as described in [Uniqueness of names](/boomerang-3-domain-administrator-manual/uniqueness_of_names.md).

<table><thead><tr><th width="205.5">Parameter</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Name</td><td>MP name</td></tr><tr><td>Local ID</td><td>MP ID that depends on the GW type</td></tr><tr><td>Gateway</td><td>Gateway name selected from the installed GW list</td></tr><tr><td>Type</td><td>MP type selected from the list that depends on the GW type</td></tr><tr><td>Log Interval</td><td>Measurement log interval in minutes</td></tr><tr><td>No Of Decimals</td><td>Number of digits after the decimal point presented in the readings</td></tr><tr><td>Unit</td><td>Measurement unit</td></tr><tr><td>Index</td><td>MP index. For some of the MP types there can be multiple MPs with the same Local ID but with different indexes like e.g., combined RH and temperature sensors or multi-input analogue to digital converters.</td></tr><tr><td>Communication Alarm Filter</td><td>Number of minutes with no transmissions from the MP, after which a communication alarm is raised.</td></tr><tr><td>Notes</td><td>Optional text field.</td></tr><tr><td>Serial Number</td><td>Sensor serial number printed on its tag.</td></tr><tr><td>Icon</td><td>Icon for MP representation.</td></tr><tr><td>Disable the alarms</td><td>Select the checkbox to suppress the alarms from the MP.</td></tr><tr><td>Disable alarms temporarily</td><td>Select the checkbox to suppress the alarms from the MP during the period defined from “Disable alarms from” to “Disable alarms to”.</td></tr><tr><td>New Adjustment Value</td><td>The measurement adjustment value from the calibration certificate. The value is used to adjust the MP reading.</td></tr><tr><td>Calibration interval</td><td>The calibration certificate validity time in months. The default value is 12.</td></tr></tbody></table>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.boomerang3.com/boomerang-3-domain-administrator-manual/admin/infrastructure/infrastructure__measuring_points/common-mp-parameters.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
