ATX Energy DC Channel

This provider does not ship with the Green Metrics Tool anymore and this page is only kept as a reference for old versions. The importer script tools/dc_converter.py described below does however still exist in the repository.

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.

PicoLog HDR ADC 24 connected to Fujitsu Esprimo P956 for DC power measurement

Example call
