For each of the three bit-fields, the associated property can be
selected from a drop-down menu. The items on this menu vary
with the precise hardware configuration of the CMG-EAM but
typically include the choice of voltage, current or power for
each monitored power bus. The scaling is also set by a drop-
down menu, whose choices are:

Current: -1.28A to 1.27A where one bit equals 10mA

Voltage: 5.0V to 30.5V where one bit equals 0.1V

Power or temperature: -64 to 63.5 where one bit
equals 0.5W or 0.5°C (in units of Watts or Celsius, as
appropriate).

5.2.2 Configurable parameters in expert mode

The following additional configuration options appear when the
“Expert mode” button is pressed:

The Log file field allows a separate log-file to be maintained,
dedicated to this converter instance. When left blank, the
standard syslog subsystem is used and, for most applications,
this is adequate. For extremely complex set-ups, it may be
useful to segregate messages from this instance into a
separate file.

Whether logging to syslog or to a dedicated file, the Log level
pull-down menu allows you to select the level of detail that will
be logged. The options are a subset of the standard syslog
levels: “Warnings”, “Important notices”, “Informational
messages” and “Debugging information”. Setting this field to
“Warnings” produces the least output and setting it to
“Debugging information” produces the most.
