Hi Jonathan,
I have been looking at the IIO ABI docs and if I understand correctly, the idea is to use consistent naming conventions? So for example, looking at the ADE7854 datasheet, the naming matching the ADE7854 registers would be as follows:
{direction}_{type}_{index}_{modifier}_{info_mask}
AIGAIN - In_current_a_gain
AVGAIN - in_voltage_a_gain
BIGAIN - in_current_b_gain
BVGAIN - in_voltage_b_gain
—
How do we represent the rms and offset
AIRMSOS - in_current_a_rmsoffset
AVRMSOS - in_voltage_a_rmsoffset
—
Here I don’t understand how to represent both the phase and the active/reactive/apparent power components. Do we combine the phase and quadrature part like this
AVAGAIN - in_power_a_gain /* apparent power */
—
AWGAIN - in_power_ai_gain /* active power */
—
AVARGAIN - in_power_aq_gain /* reactive power */
—
Now here it becomes more complicated. Not sure how this gets handled.
AFWATTOS - in_power_a_active/fundamental/offset
—
AWATTHR - in_energy_ai_accumulation
—
AVARHR - in_energy_aq_accumulation
—
IPEAK - in_current_peak
—
I’ll leave it there, because there are some even more complicated register naming issues.
Regards,
John
