# PowerProInput

### Purpose
This module provides a concrete implementation of input reading functionality for PowerPro hardware devices. It extends `SLICEBaseInputReader` to measure diagnostic channel values including input voltage, temperature, and backup battery voltage from PowerPro hardware via a communication interface.

### Public Interface

**Class: `SLICEPowerProInputReader`**

- **Constructor**: `SLICEPowerProInputReader(ICommunication comm)` - Initializes the reader with an `ICommunication` interface for hardware communication. Passes the communication object to the base class and stores it in a private readonly field.

- **Property**: `override double InputMilliVolts` - Measures the input voltage on diagnostic channel `InputVoltage_A`. Creates a `MeasurePowerProDiagnosticChannel` instance, configures it with `DeviceGroup = 0` and `DeviceID = 0`, executes synchronously, and returns the measurement converted to millivolts (multiplied by 1000.0).

- **Property**: `override double TemperatureC` - Measures the temperature in Celsius. Uses diagnostic channel `TemperatureC` with `DeviceGroup = 0` and `DeviceID = 0`. Returns the raw measurement value without conversion.

- **Property**: `override double DirectBackupMilliVolts` - Measures the backup battery voltage. Uses diagnostic channel `BatteryVoltage` with `DeviceGroup = 0` and `DeviceID = 0`. Returns the measurement converted to millivolts (multiplied by 1000.0).

### Invariants
- All measurement operations use `DeviceGroup = 0` and `DeviceID = 0` (single device assumption).
- Voltage measurements (`InputMilliVolts`, `DirectBackupMilliVolts`) are always returned in millivolts, requiring multiplication by 1000.0 from the raw measurement.
- Temperature is always returned in Celsius without scaling.
- Each property getter performs a synchronous execution call; there is no caching of measurements.

### Dependencies
**Depends on:**
- `DTS.Common.Interface.DASFactory` - Provides `ICommunication` interface
- `DTS.DASLib.Command.SLICE` - Provides `MeasurePowerProDiagnosticChannel` class and `PowerProDiagnosticChannelList` enum
- `SLICEBaseInputReader` (base class, location not shown in source)

**Depended on by:** Not determinable from source alone.

### Gotchas
- Each property access creates a new `MeasurePowerProDiagnosticChannel` instance and performs a synchronous `SyncExecute()` call. Frequent property access could impact performance.
- The hardcoded `DeviceGroup = 0` and `DeviceID = 0` values suggest this implementation only supports single
