Hi CERN,
From CERN-IPMC-Sensor.pdf, I don’t get the usage of:
<NominalReading>val</NominalReading>
<NormalMaximum>val</NormalMaximum>
<NormalMinimum>val</NormalMinimum>
Can you please explain me what these values are used for ?
Best regards,
Sylvain @ LAPP
Hello Sylvain,
my interpretation was that this is mainly for information, given that these value are actually optional (see the IPMI specification, SDR full sensor record section). So you don’t have to specify them in the XML. The nominal value may however be of interest to an operator that does not know the hardware well. Therefore I typically specify the NominalReading, but not the NormalMinimum or NormalMaximum values.
Best regards,
Stefan
Sorry I didn’t know it was part of the specification, I will look at this part as you recommend.
