Xwidget 1.8.4
>NetMonitorCore

Brief:
1. %NetOutPercent doesn't have correct value
2. Refresh Interval Changes doesn't Save
3. NetIn & NetOut Values are not accurate


MoreInfo:

1. %NetOutPercent always show 0 for no usage & 100 for any usage (While i have set MaxNetOutSpeed to 30 and my usage is only 100-500 bytes/s)

2. Refresh Interval is Changable in the Core Settings but it doesn't have any effect when run it & when come back it fall back to its default value (1000ms)

3. i have installed Networx Program (a program to display Network Statistics) and NetMonitorCore values copmpares to it are different; also if i run more widget of same, the values of widgets are different with each other; also it most of the times misses network activities in bytes.

(works ok when you use txts)

i'm sorry but i don't understand it,
where to use txts?
and works ok with which of the problems?
can you explain more plz?

Confirming - only have one xwidget running at a time that is monitoring net traffic otherwise the values are not accurate, try each one separately.
I did notice a change in values when I upgraded from Win 7 to Win 8. This seem to only effect Xwidget - NetMonitorCore widgets, other programs remained unchanged.

I mean that using txt with netcore the values seem to be ok. The problem exists when you use %percent code with rotator, roundline, chart and pie components. That's because the % is not actually corrisponding at the real % value. Please check the link that I added and you'll understand what I mean..

1.
thats not true,
i have tested with both text and chart and both have the same incorrect value

i should mention that the "%NetInPercent" is having correct value but "%NetOutPercent" have the problem (having 100 value in text) and only can be lower than 100 if i change the MaxNetOutSpeed in the core to something so higher (about x10000 higher)
it should be a problem with "%NetOutPercent" formula; because when i use "(netmonitorcore1.get("%NetOutSpeedK")/netmonitorcore1.MaxNetout)*100;" in the scriptEditor it works ok.

2.
Refresh interval can't be saved

3.
not so accurate values for "NetIn" & "NetOut"
>can be because of refresh interval of 1s (that can't be changed) and missed progress of network in the period of a second.

"networx" program showing accurate values in progress and if comparing with each other you can see that NetMonitorCore have upper and lower values and also misses to show some low activity of network when in bytes.

also if i open 2 or 3 or... of that widget the values doesn't match eachother and every widget show its different values
>this could be because of it capture the value on that specified second but it should take average of values of that second

networx is freeware and have portable version; and if you would like to compare it here's the link:

Yes, I agree and surely the code needs optimization.. Let's hope that the Dev will fix it in the next version/s..

As well as accuracy another nice feature would be -

Thanks!

The refresh interval being locked to 1000ms causes performance issues on low power systems the interval being too frequent on gauges that use a switch animation on a rotating pointer.

I would suggest that you rate no.2 as MEDIUM
