Multiple Measures

[TweaknFreak]

I'm trying to retrieve the total space of my HDD by adding total space availabe on each partition.But,the thing aint working.I guess there is some special method to have more than one measures. My code is below:─

Code: Select all

[Measure_DriveSize1]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive="C:"
Total=1

[Measure_DriveSize2]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive="D:"
Total=1

[Measure_DriveSize3]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive="E:"
Total=1

[Measure_DriveSize4]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive="F:"
Total=1

[Measure_DriveSize5]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive="G:"
Total=1

[MeasureTotalHD]
Measure=Calc
Formula=[Measure_DriveSize1]+[Measure_DriveSize2]+[Measure_DriveSize3]+[Measure_DriveSize4]+[Measure_DriveSize5]

Please help me out.

Add "DynamicVariables=1" to the last measure.

Nah,It aint workin even after I add DynamicVariables=1. Newayz thanx 4 ur reply and if possible give me a different solution.

I think you need to encase the formula in brackets...(Formula)

Formula=([Measure_DriveSize1]+[Measure_DriveSize2]+[Measure_DriveSize3]+[Measure_DriveSize4]+[Measure_DriveSize5])

Still no luck.It always gives this error message-
"The meter [HD] cannot be bound with [0]"

Can you post your entire skin inside

Code: Select all

tags? That error message is saying that the meter [HD] has a MeasureName= option on it that can't find the measure you are referencing. It may just be some typo somewhere, or perhaps you are trying to set the MeasureName= option in some dynamic way that is not working.

Use MeasureName=MeasureTotalHD (not MeasureName=[MeasureTotalHD]).

[TweaknFreak]

Well poiru 's method stopped that error message showup,but the meter aint working right as it should,i.e,its not showing total space of my entire HDD.

I am attaching the background image too for ya all to try it on and help me correct the error.

First, in [MeasureTotalHD] you are referencing the measures you are adding together by saying [Section1]+[Section2] (with square brackets) which requires that you add DynamicVariables=1 to the [MeasureTotalHD] section.

Anyway, even then the issue as I see it is that you are measuring the total hard drive space on your system by adding all the totals for each drive together, then displaying a percentage in your String meter by adding the Percentual=1 option. No matter what the total number you come up with is, it is always going to be 100% of itself isn't it?

What I would do is get all those totals as you are now. But then I would add another FreeDiskSpace measure for each drive, but without the Total=1 option on them. Create a Calc measure that adds together the "total" measures and the "free" measures, and divides them to create a "percentage free" number. Use that number in that string meter.

Hope this helps, feel free to ask more questions if it wasn't clear.

Okay, its done. Thanx to all you guyz who helped. I made the following corrections :─

1. Added DynamicVariables=1 to [MeasureTotalHD]
2. Converted the space calculated to gigabytes by correcting the line

Code: Select all

Formula=([Measure_DriveSize1]+[Measure_DriveSize2]+[Measure_DriveSize3]+[Measure_DriveSize4]+[Measure_DriveSize5])

to

Code: Select all

Formula=([Measure_DriveSize1]+[Measure_DriveSize2]+[Measure_DriveSize3]+[Measure_DriveSize4]+[Measure_DriveSize5])/1073741824

3. Removed that Percentual=1 from [HD]
4. Added NumOfDecimals=2 to [HD]

@jsmorley- I just wanted to display total space available in the system. i have other meters to show free space, so percent thing is not needed.Anywayz thanx again.

BTW, does the meter look good enough???
