This register establishes legacy diode register assignment condition of Temperature Zones 1 and 4, LEG; the number of
domains per client, DOM; and PECI input filter coefficients, AVG[2:0]. This register becomes read-only when the
Ready/Lock/Start/Override register Lock bit is set. Any further attempts to write to this register shall have no effect.

This register establishes the number of domains per PECI address and enables up to four PECI clients to be polled for
temperatures. If bit-0 through bit-3 are reset, PECI will not be available.
In addition, a remote diode noise filter may be tuned for optimum performance when excessive noise is present in remote
diode readings. This is a low-pass filter that also eliminates single sample spikes before they are stored in Temperature
Zone registers. Filter algorithm is described in the section on Spike Smoothing registers 62h, 63h and 3Ch. Times indicated
in Table 9 show the approximate filter response time to a step function in temperature diode measurement as applied to the
assigned Temperature Zone reading. This register becomes read-only when the Ready/Lock/Start/Override register Lock bit
is set. Any further attempts to write to this register shall have no effect.
