Enable Disable Sensors

Eben Snyman

Good Day,

I have created a demo program in WinRT to comunicate with two sensors of the TI SensorTag, Humidity Sensor and the Barometer Sensor. 

I have a question about the enabling and disabling of the sensors, When writing the "1" byte to enable or the "0" byte to disable towards the config characteristic  does that actually DISABLE the sensor or does the sensor just go to Sleep ? 

The reason why I am asking is because according to my calculations the tags battery should be fine for more or less 2 years, but when testing the tags battery held up for two weeks. So now we are trying to eliminate possible causes for this.

Note: At the time of testing the sensortag was still using the firmware version 1.0

Thanks in advance
