show_power.exe header

Tim Nelson — Tue, 25 Jul 2006 12:45:28 GMT

I am sure this is a really really easy one.

What is the meaing of the header 00-15 when executing show_power.exe ?

I would have guessed if hours of the day then I would see 00-23 ??

00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15

I know nothing, but I'd assume that it's a
CPU number or a sensor number, or something.
Of what have you six, where you might have
sixteen?

And checking that "Retain format(spacing)"
box might help readability in a case like
this.

and

each of the 16 entries is described as an instance. They may be CPUs or depend e.g power status each may be a power supply

I am mainly interested in the temperature references and thought those were some type of history i.e. I initially assumed 81 deg. at midnight and 64 dg. at 5am until I noticed that scale only went to 15

Let me ask this a different way.

I see 6 (F)temperatures. What would each one mean ? I am looking to monitor overall system temp but when there is a range from 80 deg. to 64 deg. which one do I use ?

Where are the sensors? A temperature sensor
tends to tell you _its_ temperature.

> which one do I use ?

About which one do you care most? It might
help to know what/where they measure.

If any are below ambient, I'd tend to
distrust those.

You might start with a system in thermal
equilibrium, and watch how they change with
time.
