Thema: English documentation? (Gelesen 4490 mal)

I'm sorry to bother this forum (especially with an English speaking question), but I'd like to know if there's english documentation (or a translation of the programme, better yet) for STLCD. It supports my VFD (CU20045SCPB-T23A) which a lot of programmes don't do out of the box. However, I have several problems getting the display exactly how I'd like, and the instructions aren't much help when I don't speak German. 
-The CPU usage meter is always zero. Does this require MBM5 or something?
-The hard disc light flickers CONSTANTLY while STLCD runs. I suspect it's checking 20 times a second to update the hard disc meters, but I turned those off in the configuration and it still flickers non-stop. If I turn off STLCD, it stiops blinking.

No, there isn't. I always wanted to translate at least the docs to english, but never had the motivation to do so.

No. This function simply depends on your OS - and that's why STLCD requires NT/2K/XP. M$ didn't do a real good job there, so it is quite complex to get this feature to work.
-The hard disc light flickers CONSTANTLY while STLCD runs. I suspect it's checking 20 times a second to update the hard disc meters, but I turned those off in the configuration and it still flickers non-stop. If I turn off STLCD, it stiops blinking.
The harddisc-meters never access the Harddisc (as far as I know, don't know if M$ does this). Maybe you have activated Error-Logging, which can be disabled. Set "UseLog=0" in STLCD.INI and the flickering stops. It is a good idea to delete STLCD.ERR, as most of the information in there won't help us.
Oh, BTW: There is no problem to ask there in English. I will try my best to help.

Error Logging was off.
With it on, I get a lot of
ST_SYSINFO: PDHError 800007D5: No data to return.
in STLCD.ERR.
The OS is Windows 2000, no service packs applied.
I noticed on http://lcdsmartie.sourceforge.net/FAQ.htm a mention that they have trouble with the CPU meter always displaying 0 too. However, the fix they mention, I don't have that key in my registry.

I've come up with an "end run" solution for the "zero percent CPU uage" problem.
Let MBM5 do the measurement.
-Install MBM5 (which I needed anyway to read the sensors)
-Tell MBM5 to read the CPU usage, it doesn't by default.
-Set the CPU usage meter to a name other than "CPU" (so it doesn't overlap with the CPU temperature)
-Let STLCD read the "CPUusage (percent)" sensor. I first tried it without renaming the meter, and it kept saying 47 percent usage-- til I realised it was referring to the 47c proc temperature.  Nothing I was doing needed 47 percent of an A64.
The one drawback is that this way doesn't give a very fast update... rather than having the gauge go from zero to 100 ten times, you'll see it sitting at 25 percent.
