+These functions are

+[`fault_light_on`](#fault-light-on),
+[`get_config`](#get-config),
+[`get_data`](#get-data),

+[`get_model`](#get-model),
+[`reboot`](#reboot),
+[`restart_backend`](#restart-backend), and

+## [`MinerConfig`][pyasic.config.MinerConfig] and [`MinerData`][pyasic.data.MinerData]
+
+Pyasic implements a few dataclasses as helpers to make data return types consistent across different miners and miner APIs.
+
+<br>
+
+### [`MinerData`][pyasic.data.MinerData]
+
+[`MinerData`][pyasic.data.MinerData] is a return from the [`get_data()`](#get-data) function, and is used to have a consistent dataset across all returns.
+
+You can call [`MinerData.asdict()`][pyasic.data.MinerData.asdict] to get the dataclass as a dictionary, and there are many other helper functions contained in the class to convert to different data formats.
+
+<br>
+
+### [`MinerConfig`][pyasic.config.MinerConfig]
+
+[`MinerConfig`][pyasic.config.MinerConfig] is pyasic's way to represent a configuration file from a miner.
+It is the return from [`get_config()`](#get-config).
+
+Each miner has a unique way to convert the [`MinerConfig`][pyasic.config.MinerConfig] to their specific type, there are helper functions in the class.
+In most cases these helper functions should not be used, as [`send_config()`](#send-config) takes a [`MinerConfig`][pyasic.config.MinerConfig] and will do the conversion to the right type for you.
