Board Specific SEMA Functions
5.1.1
Voltages
The BMC of the Express-HLE implements a voltage monitor and samples several onboard voltages. The voltages can be read by calling the
SEMA function “Get Voltages”. The function returns a 16-bit value divided into high-byte (MSB) and low-byte (LSB).

Use Main Current Function
5.1.2
Main Current
The BMC of the Express-HLE implements a current monitor. The current can be read by calling the SEMA function “Get Main Current”. The
function returns four 16-bit values divided in high-byte (MSB) and low-byte (LSB). These 4 values represent the last 4 currents drawn by the
board. The values are sampled every 250ms. The order of the 4 values is NOT in chronological order. Access by the BMC may increase the
drawn current of the whole system. In this case, there are still 3 samples not influenced by the read access.
Main Current = (MSB_n<<8 + LSB_n) x 8.06mA
