Format: ascset|ASCN,voltage,MMID-value[-miner_id-val_offset] eg: cgminer-api "ascset|0,voltage,1-7750" cgminer-api "ascset|0,voltage,1-7750-0-125"
Technical details
- The auc take 1~2ms betwwen write and read. even the polling delay is 0 (4800 means 1ms)
- The cgminer each polling takes ~20ms. even the polling delay is 0ms
