totalhostwrites / totalhostreads from HWiNFO

[Indy]

Hello,

i need help whit the values of totalhostwrites / totalhostreads from HWiNFO.

In HWiNFO the unit of quantity (18202.000000) is "GB" but Rainmeter display the unit of quantity (17.8) "kB".

Code: Select all

[MeasureTotalHostWrites]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\HWiNFO.dll
HWiNFOSensorId=0xf0000100
HWiNFOSensorInstance=0x2
HWiNFOEntryId=0x8000002
HWiNFOType=CurrentValue
UpdateDivider=1

[DriveWrite]
Meter=STRING
MeasureName=MeasureTotalHostWrites
X=5
Y=95
FontFace=Arial Rounded MT Bold
FontColor=#fontColor.Text#
FontSize=8
AntiAlias=1
AutoScale=1
NumOfDecimals=1
Prefix="Total Writes: "
PostFix="B"

What i do wrong?

Seems to me that if HWInfo is returning the value in GB, you don't want to use AutoScale on the meter, which will treat the value as bytes and scale it. Just return the value as is, and stick "GB" at the end of the text.

If you want to use AutoScale, and I can see the charm in that, you might want to do something like:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
AccurateText=1

[MeasureTotalHostWrites]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=HWiNFO
HWiNFOSensorId=0xf0000100
HWiNFOSensorInstance=0x0
HWiNFOEntryId=0x8000002
HWiNFOType=CurrentValue

[MeasureUpScaleWrites]
Measure=Calc
Formula=MeasureTotalHostWrites * 1000000000

[MeterWrites]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureUpScaleWrites
FontSize=11
FontWeight=400
FontColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=47,47,47,255
Padding=5,5,5,5
AntiAlias=1
AutoScale=2
NumOfDecimals=1
Text=%1B

Then the value of 9677.000000 returned for me in HWInfo will end up as "9.7 TB" which is what makes sense.

Note that I used AutoScale=2, not AutoScale=1. This is not a count in "bytes", but a pure "count" in individual units. You don't want to scale as if it was bytes of data.

Yes, but then i have 18231 GB.
And how i can Autoscale to 18.231 TB?
I think the Autoscale is necessary because the value is changes over the Time.
