ATX Energy DC Channel

⚠️Warning - LEGACY PROVIDER⚠️ #

This is a legacy provider and is not maintained anymore. It is only used in an old version of the Green Metrics Tool!

What it does #

This metric provider reads the the voltage from the DC channels of the ATX connector on the mainboard through shunt resistors and converts the voltage to an energy reading.

The reporter is different from the purely software based, as it collects the metrics through an external device: Picotech PicoLog HDR ADC 24

Classname #

• None

Only an importer script is needed to ingest the metrics.

Input Parameters #

The AppImage must be called in order to start the measurement.

All values should be configured with 100 ms time resolution and +/- 625 mV sensitivity range.

Furthermore the output should show as mV

The script will detect the measurement resolution automatically though if you alter it.

Example call #

python3 tools/dc_converter.py filename project_id db_host db_pw

Software #

We are using the Piclog 6.2.5 AppImage on Ubuntu 22.04
