/*
 * IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
 * 
 * Not all UTalk models provide all possible information, settings and commands.
 * mge-utalk checks on startup which variables and commands are available from
 * the UPS, and re-reads these regularly. Thus, startup is a bit slow, but this
 * should not matter much.
 * 
 * mge-utalk.h defines a struct array that tells the driver how to read
 * variables from the UPS and publish them as NUT data.
 * 
 * "ups.status" variable is not included in this array, since it contains
 * information that requires several calls to the UPS and more advanced analysis
 * of the reponses. The function get_ups_status does this job.
 * 
 * Note that MGE enumerates the status "bits" from right to left,
 * i.e., if buf[] contains the reponse to command "Ss" (read system status),
 * then buf[0] contains "bit" Ss.1.7 (General alarm), while buf[7] contains
 * "bit" Ss.1.0 (Load unprotected). 
 * 
 * enable_ups_comm() is called before each attempt to read/write data
 * from/to the UPS to re synchronise the communication.
