The "vcgencmd measure_volts" command is a command specific to Raspberry Pi devices. It is used to measure the voltage of different components on the Raspberry Pi board, such as the CPU, core, and memory.

When executed, this command provides information about the voltages of various components, typically represented in millivolts (mV). The purpose of measuring voltages is to monitor the power supply and ensure that it is within safe operating limits. Deviations from the expected voltages could indicate potential issues with the power supply or the components themselves.

This command can be useful for troubleshooting and diagnosing problems related to power supply on a Raspberry Pi. It helps users determine if the voltage levels are appropriate and if any adjustments or replacements are necessary.
