    5454readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give 
    55 the readings more range or accuracy. This is important because some FANs 
    56 report only one 'tick' each rotation, while others report two - making 
    57 all readings twice as high. Not all RPM values can accurately be represented, 
    58 so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest representable 
    59 value is around 2600 RPM.
