Will wait for that then. Another thing is that the conversion times
are also configurable. And I plan to use the update_interval in the
ABI once this average is added. This means that average value will
be changed via this 'average' node (or other name), and conversion
times will be changed via the 'update_interval' node by following
the formula: update_interval = channels * (vbus_ct + vsh_ct) * avg

OK. Thanks
