=== Temperature Monitors Configuration ===
The temperature monitors allows to be configured in many ways by modifying some registers (see datasheets), this configurations are specific for the PS3 motherboard design and is unknown if is stored in a "non-volatile way" inside the temperature monitors or if is syscon who configures them everytime the PS3 motherboard is powered as part of syscon initialization procedures<br>

The SMBus in between syscon and the thermal monitors is a digital channel, we can consider all this configuration and 100% of the data transfered in the SMBus channel as bytes, and in theory it should be insensitive to intereferences or innacuracies

=== Local VS Remote sensor ===
== Local VS Remote sensor ==
The temperature monitors contains a sensor integrated inside them and are able to meassure another external sensor, this modes are named "local sensor" and "remote sensor". In local mode the temperature monitor is meassuring the temperature of itself (and indirectly the surrounding components), in remote mode are meassuring the temperature of another component<br>

In COK-001 the temperature monitors for CELL and RSX are configured as remote (meassures the sensors inside CELL and RSX cores), but the others for SB, EEGS, BEVR are intended to be configured as local
