to which this shunt is assigned to.
In case there a multiple shunts in the system it is important to watch out for a possible "double current" problem (when
the same current is calculated twice). This happens if the same current passes through multiple shunts. Example: a fridge
is monitored individually with a dedicated current sensors, but the same current passes also through the main battery
shunt. In such case, we should configure the monitor so that it will calculate only the current of one of the sensors, while
the purpose of the other sensor is purely the convenience of the user to see the device's consumption (individual device
monitoring).
BATTERY - Here you can assign your shunt to a battery. More common way is to assign shunts to a battery through the
battery configuration screen.
DISPLAY SEPARATELY - If enabled, the shunt will be displayed in separate screen, even if the shunt is assigned to a battery.
DISPLAY PRIORITY - Set the display priority of the current sensor. Here you can also hide the current sensor.
DEVICE - Displays a full ID of the current sensor. This is read only and it will not change even if you rename the sensor.
MERGE WITH - Gives you an option to merge the sensor with another sensor. That way you tell PICO to consider the
readings of two current sensors as a reading of a single device.
