The available parameter names for board[BNUM]_ch[CHNUM]_[PARNAME] depend on the model of the board in use. For the A7435SN, this would be V0Set, I0Set, V1Set, I1Set, RUp, RDWn, Trip, SVMax, VMon, IMon, Status, Pw, POn, TripInt, TripExt, ZCDetect, and ZCAdjust
Usage#
A minimal configuration would be:
[satellites.CaenHV.sy5527]
# Device-specific system settings for the SY5527-controlling Satellite
system = "SY5527"
link = "TCPIP"
link_argument = "192.168.8.2"
username = "myuser"
password = "mypassword!"
metrics_poll_interval = 30
board1_ch1_V0Set = 1
board1_ch1_pw = "on"
