Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. Generally accepted accounting principles prescribe a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
• | Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
• | Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or
• | Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Our significant financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 2, 2016 and September 30, 2015 were as follows:

______________ (1) Money market funds and time deposits are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets. (2) The principal market in which we execute our foreign currency contracts is the institutional market in an over-the-counter environment with a relatively high level of price transparency. The market participants usually are large financial institutions. Our foreign currency contracts’ valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and quoted pricing intervals from public data sources and do not involve management judgment. These contracts are typically classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. (3) For a description of the inputs used to value the contingent consideration liability see Note 6 Acquisitions. Changes in the fair value of Level 3 contingent consideration liability associated with our acquisition of ThingWorx and ColdLight were as follows:
| Contingent Consideration
| (in thousands)
| ThingWorx | ColdLight
Balance, October 1, 2015 | $ | 9,000 |  | $ | 4,000 |
Change in present value of contingent consideration | — |  | — |
Payment of contingent consideration |  | (1,250 | )
Balance, January 2, 2016 | $ | 9,000 |  | $ | 2,750 |
Of the total, $10.2 million of the contingent consideration liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, with the remaining $1.5 million in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 2, 2016.
