Description |
|
----------- |
|
|
|
.. important:: |
|
|
|
For the revision 0x00 chip, the in0, in1, and in2 values (+5V, +3V, |
|
and +12V) CANNOT be read. 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.
