Currently only one option is supported:
frequency
The desired number of times per second a sample should be taken, meaning the number of times per second that reading event will be called. A whole number or decimal may be used, the latter for frequencies less than a second. The actual reading frequency depends on the device hardware and consequently may be less than requested.
