through fan validation.

single temperature measurement channel. For example,
Remote 1 temperature can control PWM1 and PWM2
outputs. If two different fans are used on PWM1 and PWM2,
the fan characteristics can be set up differently. As a result,
Fan 1 driven by PWM1 can have a different PWM
than that of Fan 2 connected to PWM2. Figure 54 illustrates
this as PWM1
