Ultrasound system monitoring is mainly to monitor every voltage of interior machine,
Temperature Monitoring
Function:
On the back-end of the main board, a special monitor IC is used to monitor
signal voltages and clock battery power that are provided to the main board by
the main unit box power board.
The system temperature is detected in three positions: BF FPGA, CPU module
and power module.
Monitoring chips control the main unit fan and the machine fan, and then read
the fan rotating, which send to multifunction FPGA by smbus and to CPU
module by LPC bus.
