I need to change my oppinion on the best LCD software.


You have to try the new..... CrystalControl Software

Its made by the wonderful people here at Crystal Fonts. it is far more superior than anything i have ever seen or used or heard of.

Go Here To Check It Out..... http://www.crystalfontz.com/software/crystalcontrol/index.html

The best Software period!!!!

CrystalControl.....IT JUST WORKS!!


(There are a few things that still need to be done, but when they are complete....there will be no need for anything else!!!)


Thank you CrystalFontz for creating it!!!

Crystal Control is the best software I have used yet. I does take a while to setup multiple pages though. The Interface is a little bit more difficult than say LCD center, or others. But the good thing is that after it is setup... it works :) :D

The program works as advertised, and doesn't crash my XP, even on shut-down (LCD Stats prevents shutdown, who knows why).

I've become so used to the LCD Stats display, I miss a couple of things:

1. Network traffic in Kbps rather than bps (numbers too large to be useful). Can I simply enter a multiplier to reduce the output to Kbps? If so, what is the syntax for such entries.

2. Also, rather than simply cycling a screen which displays new email numbers, is it possible to simply check periodically and then display a notification if messages exist?

Many thanks for the great work. Of course I suspect you might have had some ulterior motives - if you get the word out to the Hardware sites, you'll sell a lot more displays now they "come" with software.

Many thanks.

You can.
In the "information settings" box in the screen settings dialog box, you can select the precision and scale.
You want to change the scale.

Or you can edit the ~tag~ code.
Gives bytes per second:
~PM06\Network Interface(Intel[R] PRO_100 S Desktop Adapter)\Bytes Received/sec~
Give Kbytes per second:
~PM03\Network Interface(Intel[R] PRO_100 S Desktop Adapter)\Bytes Received/sec~


2. Also, rather than simply cycling a screen which displays new email numbers, is it possible to simply check periodically and then display a notification if messages exist?


Cant be done at the moment.

Many thanks - just what I needed.

Can you tell me what the proper settings are for the NUMBER SIZE, PRECISION, and the SCALE to get the reading in KBs instead of bytes ?

I tried setting the tag to PM03 like you posted but I dont get a reading for Packets sent and Packets received with the PM03 tag.

Thanks. P.S>. Great software.

[CrystalControl Admin]

The 03 bit only sets the precision and the scale... not what data its collecting. The rest of the tag after the PM03 does that.

The 0 is precision where it sets the number of decimal places.
The 3 is the divider/mulitplier.

Do you know why Im not getting a reading for Packets sent and Packets received when I have the PM03 tag ? Im getting a reading on total. Also is there a way to speed up the refresh on the readings ? Thanks. Here is an exact copy of the tags:


In : ~PM03\Network Interface(3Com EtherLink XL 10_100 PCI For Complete PC Management NIC [3C905C-TX] - Packet Scheduler Miniport)\Packets Received/sec~

Out : ~PM03\Network Interface(3Com EtherLink XL 10_100 PCI For Complete PC Management NIC [3C905C-TX] - Packet Scheduler Miniport)\Packets Sent/sec~

Total: ~PM03\Network Interface(3Com EtherLink XL 10_100 PCI For Complete PC Management NIC [3C905C-TX] - Packet Scheduler Miniport)\Bytes Total/sec~

[Kevin]

Are the above tags correct ?

[CrystalControl Admin]

No its not.

You want:
....\Bytes Received/sec~
....\Bytes Sent/sec~
.....\Bytes Total/sec~

Speed up the Performance monitor updates in the overall settings dialog (button next to the about box button).

[Kevin]

Thanks. Your the best :-) And know Im a pest but this LCD is too much fun.

[kevh]

no votes for LCDSmartie?? Used the original and am now beta testing LCDSMartie 5.1 with WinXP-works great-many features to include themes, etc.

[Cable]

[Chefdave]

It looks like overclockersclub.com (http://overclockersclub.com/20x4crystalfontzlcd.shtml) has a copy of LCDcenter available for download here (http://www.overclockersclub.com/downloadcenter/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=20).

[Chefdave]

[Chepaman]

Lcd Smartie is my choice... Easy to set up, Multiple E-mail accounts, Halflife/Counter strike support and much more.

[keenie]

edit:
I've moved back to CC 'cos LCD Smartie 5.1 kept on crashing my comp when I O/C'd my TBred 1800+ :rolleyes:

[Americanfreak]

I can't get the 5.1 to see my hard drives....I'm using W2k and the 4. series work fine......and it looks like he has not made a new version in awhile...

[digitalskillz]

I have a 128x64 Graphical LCD with a Parallel interface and need software to run it. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as all the programs I've seen either are for serial LCD's or don't support 128x64.

Thanks.

[Americanfreak]

Try powerlcd (http://www.powerlcd.com)

[m3rdpwr]

Too bad that they still don't work coming out of hybernation in XP...
