Getting started with lm-sensors

[Guillermo de las Nieves <nieves20002001@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good afternoon!

I'm getting started with lm-snesors, trtying to do my thesis about energy consumption in network adapters (LAN, WIFI...).

I'm looking for some guidance, since when I execute the command sensors I obtain:

gnieves@pupa:~$ sensors
it8718-isa-0290
Adapter: ISA adapter
in0:         +1.22 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)  
in1:         +1.79 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)  
in2:         +3.30 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)  
in3:         +2.93 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)  
in4:         +0.19 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)  
in5:         +0.00 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)   ALARM
in6:         +1.25 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)  
in7:         +3.01 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)  
Vbat:        +4.08 V
fan1:       1634 RPM  (min =    0 RPM)
fan2:          0 RPM  (min =    0 RPM)
fan3:          0 RPM  (min =    0 RPM)
temp1:       -55.0°C  (low  = +127.0°C, high = +127.0°C)  sensor = thermistor
temp2:       +38.0°C  (low  = +127.0°C, high = +127.0°C)  sensor = thermal diode
temp3:        -1.0°C  (low  = +127.0°C, high = +127.0°C)  sensor = thermistor
cpu0_vid:   +1.288 V

I got some idea about what each inX means, but still not sure about it. And I know that this is not calibrated.

My questions are, where can I found what exactly means each inX, is this useful to check the energy consumption on the network device and finally, how can i calibrate this?

Thanks so much for your attention, hope you can help me as soon as possible.

Best regards,

Guillermo
