WMI class instance name and temperature sensor mapping

AseemK — Fri, 20 Jun 2014 09:45:23 GMT

I need to record the values returned by various temperature sensors in the server. I am able to pull the data using WMI but the instance name is cryptic. How do I know which instance number is for which sensor?
