It starts procedure "convert" on all devices on the bus - hence it actually
only
for values volt* and temp*.
While read from simultaneous/volt value "1" (time of it is set by
cache-options)
procedure "convert" is not started at data reading from device/volt*. Here an
example of my script for the program similar rrdtool:
[ -f $Base/simultaneous/temperature ] && {
sim=`cat $Base/simultaneous/temperature`
if [ "$sim" = "0" ]; then
echo 1 >$Base/simultaneous/temperature
fi
}
val=`cat $Base/$dev/temperature`
It allows very quickly to obtain data from such quantity of gauges:
# ls -d /mnt/1wire/28.* | wc -l
77
#
