Now that all files were converted to ReST format, rename them
and add an index.

Local temperature +is given within a range of -127 to +127.875 degrees. Remote temperatures are +given within a range of -127 to +255 degrees. Resolution depends on +temperature input and range. + +Each sensor has its own critical limit. Additionally, there is a relative +hysteresis value common to both critical limits. To make life easier to +user-space applications, two absolute values are exported, one for each +channel, but these values are of course linked. Only the local hysteresis +can be set from user-space, and the same delta applies to the remote +hysteresis. + +The lm95245 driver can change its update interval to a fixed set of values. +It will round up to the next selectable interval. See the datasheet for exact +values. Reading sensor values more often will do no harm, but will return +'old' values. |
