Rainmeter - Values from HwInfo

[Kurou]

Hi, im back again

I have a problem. My suite skin is designed to operate with different programms which are obtaining the sensor information. The problem is that when i use hwinfo, its values are not changing with "AutoScale" or "Scale" at all. Am i missing something here?

If im using MsiAfterburner i get for example "CPU Clock" value in MHz and with rainmeter meter parameters i can modify it to GHz but with HwInfo it wont work. Does it require another meter for calculation or the value from HwInfo is as a string and i need to convert it to number?

Rainmeter Measure Example:

Code: Select all

[Measure_GPU_Usage]
Measure=Registry
RegHKey=HKEY_CURRENT_USER
RegKey=SOFTWARE\HWiNFO64\VSB
RegValue=ValueRaw11
MinValue=0
MaxValue=100

Rainmeter Meter Example:

Code: Select all

[Graphics_Usage_Label]
Meter=String
Text=Usage
X=5

[Graphics_Usage_Value]
Meter=String
MeasureName=Measure_GPU_Usage
Text=%1
Postfix=" %"
X=195
Y=0r

[Graphics_Usage_Bar]
Meter=Bar
MeasureName=Measure_GPU_Usage
W=200
H=2
X=5

You are setting absolute values for X and Y in meters. Try something more variable like:

Code: Select all

[Graphics_Usage_Value]
...
X=[Graphics_Usage_Label:X]+5
Y=[Graphics_Usage_Label:X]+5
...

It sets the value for Graphics_Usage_Value as 5px to the right and below the meter Graphics_Usage_Label.

Crap! I did it again.. Wait for someone who uses your plugin/software. I don't use it hence I can not provide any correct answer. I jumped too quickly. Sorry!

The above provides an accurate description on how to use the things you are asking.

I didnt mean positioning but the output from HwInfo sensors to registry that i am obtaining through registry measure and parse it to meter to display the value. My problem was that i was trying to manipulate a string.

This is what resolve problem for me:

Code: Select all

[Measure_GPU_Memory_Usage_Raw]
Measure=Registry
RegHKey=HKEY_CURRENT_USER
RegKey=SOFTWARE\HWiNFO64\VSB
RegValue=ValueRaw14
MinValue=0
MaxValue=#gpu_memory#

[Measure_GPU_Memory_Usage]
Measure=Calc
Formula=([Measure_GPU_Memory_Usage_Raw] + 0)
DynamicVariables=1
MinValue=0
MaxValue=#gpu_memory#

Yeah, its pretty crappy way, but hey, it works!

I can not test your code because of the aforementioned reasons.. Also, I did not mean your code was crap.. I meant I saw a notification and reacted immediately without testing it.. I speed-read it... that's why I said crap..

I however am glad if I was of some help . Also delighted that it works as you wanted .

Not crappy at all, there are quite a few occasions when Calc measures are used to turn some string into a number (or the reverse, String measures being used to format and alter some number). By the way, the +0 part is not necessarily needed above.

Oh... yes... it works without it, thanks for the information.
