The "Current Accuracy" graph shows you the amount of resources your device is supplying to that sensor at that time. Click on the accuracy graph for
a detailed explanation of these readings.

The List icon will take you to the list of all the sensors available on your device. If a sensor is not included on your device, that sensor will be listed in the "Not Included" section, along with a list of other devices that offer that sensor. The sensor list shows manufacturer’s specifications for each sensor, as well as a list of devices that claim to have better specifications.

The Reset icon will return you to the sensor page, close all the open sensors, and clear out all the current data.

The Options icon will take you to Settings, where you can set the language used for the app as well as many other settings and units of measure.
