Yes it would. > On a side note, update_rate (or rate) doesn't really reflect its use. A "rate" > would be measured in updates/time, not in absolute time.

Jonathan Cameron (Cc'd) had a similar concern: http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2010-May/028596.html Nobody seemed to care back then. I can't disagree with both of you, but OTOH I don't feel too strongly about it either. So if someone submits a patch making things better, that's fine with me, but I won't spend my own time on it. > Resolution would have to be sensor dependent, since each sensor can have its own resolution. > Would be nice to have an attribute for that. Not too sure about that. I had the same reaction at first, but do we actually know of devices where the resolution isn't global? -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
