Our partners had a lot of issues with EM+EAS, because they were not aware of the internals of EM and limitations.
We've started to name two types of EM: 'advanced' and 'simple'. The 'simple' is the one which causes issues. Now when we contact with partners we ask if they use 'simple' EM and see some issues in EAS. This is a needed clarification and naming convention that we use.
Here the paragraph name is stressing the fact explicitly that from today we have the option to provide real power measurements using DT and it will be the 'advanced' EM.
