    Description copied from interface: Sensor
    
    Returns the Guava TypeToken (including generics info)

    getTypeToken in interface Sensor<T>

```
public java.lang.Class<? super T> getType()
```
    Description copied from interface: Sensor
    
    Returns the Java Class for the sensor data.
    This returns a "super" of T only in the case where T is generified, and in such cases it returns the Class instance for the unadorned T --- i.e. for List this returns Class --- this is of course because there is no actual Class> instance.
