This is a limitation of the chip, not the driver. - -This driver supports the Genesys Logic GL518SM chip. There are at least -two revision of this chip, which we call revision 0x00 and 0x80. Revision -0x80 chips support the reading of all voltages and revision 0x00 only -for VIN3. - -The GL518SM implements one temperature sensor, two fan rotation speed -sensors, and four voltage sensors. It can report alarms through the -computer speakers. - -Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. An alarm goes off while the -temperature is above the over temperature limit, and has not yet dropped -below the hysteresis limit. The alarm always reflects the current -situation. Measurements are guaranteed between -10 degrees and +110 -degrees, with a accuracy of +/-3 degrees. - -Rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is -triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. In -case when you have selected to turn fan1 off, no fan1 alarm is triggered. - -Fan readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to -give the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can -accurately be represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider -of 2, the lowest representable value is around 1900 RPM. - -Voltage sensors (also known as VIN sensors) report their values in volts. -An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum or -maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to -zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements. The VDD input -measures voltages between 0.000 and 5.865 volt, with a resolution of 0.023 -volt. The other inputs measure voltages between 0.000 and 4.845 volt, with -a resolution of 0.019 volt. Note that revision 0x00 chips do not support -reading the current voltage of any input except for VIN3; limit setting and -alarms work fine, though. - -When an alarm is triggered, you can be warned by a beeping signal through your -computer speaker. It is possible to enable all beeping globally, or only the -beeping for some alarms. - -If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register -is read at least once (except for temperature alarms). This means that the -cause for the alarm may already have disappeared! Note that in the current -implementation, all hardware registers are read whenever any data is read -(unless it is less than 1.5 seconds since the last update). This means that -you can easily miss once-only alarms. - -The GL518SM only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often -will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. |
