Hi Dimitri,

now that the decimal part is used, the resolution loss is within the
ranges mentioned in the datasheet.

For the records: the truncated values lead to alerts slightly lower than
the target alerts. Therefore, measured values below the "comfort zone"
defined by the user (but close to the low alert) will not trigger
events. The other way around is "more secure" because the target comfort
zone is guaranteed:

-------- High val -> event (as expected)

******** Target High Alert

-------- Meas -> **event** (still in target comfort zone)

######## Truncated High Alert

...

******** Target Low Alert

-------- Meas -> **no event** (out of target comfort zone)

######## Truncated Low Alert

-------- Meas -> event (as expected)

But as I said, the resolution loss is in the valid range anyway:

Thank you for adding this feature.

Best regards,
Javier Carrasco
