Options available for use with all measures.

Options

Measure

Type of the measure (e.g. CPU or FreeDiskSpace).

UpdateDivider Default: 1

Frequency at which the measure value is updated. If set to -1, the measure will be updated only once on load or on refresh. Otherwise, the global Update option is multiplied by the specified value to determine the update frequency.

Example: If Update=1000 (in the [Rainmeter] section) and UpdateDivider=30, the measure is updated every 30 seconds.

OnUpdateAction

Action to execute on each Update of the measure. This option obeys any UpdateDivider on the measure.

OnChangeAction

Action to execute when the number or string value of the measure changes. The initial change from "nothing" to a value when the skin is loaded or refreshed is ignored.

Note: With plugins that perform work in the background (e.g. WebParser and FileView), the action will be executed on the first change when loading or refreshing the skin.

InvertMeasure Default: 0

If set to 1, the measure value is inverted.

Example: With the FreeDiskSpace measure, this option can be used to measure the used disk space instead of the free disk space.

MaxValue Default: 1.0

The maximum value of a measure. This is used to set a range of values for use in meters that require a percentual value. The actual value of the measure will remain unchanged.

MinValue Default: 0.0

The minimum value of a measure. This is used to set a range of values for use in meters that require a percentual value. The actual value of the measure will remain unchanged.

AverageSize Default: 1

If set, the measure value will be an average of the specified number of past actual values.

DynamicVariables Default: 0

If set to 1, the measure is dynamic.

Disabled Default: 0

If set to 1, the measure value is never updated. A disabled measure always returns 0 as its value in numerical contexts (e.g. when used in a Calc formula or with IfActions), but may still return a textual value (e.g. when used in String meters).
