General Measure Options
Options available for use with all measures.
Options
Measure
-
Type of the measure (e.g.
CPU
,FreeDiskSpace
orPlugin
). This option is required, and cannot not be changed dynamically. UpdateDivider
Default:1
-
Frequency at which the measure value is updated. The
Update
option in the [Rainmeter] section of the skin is multiplied by the specified value to determine how often the measure is updated.Example: If
Update=1000
(in the [Rainmeter] section) andUpdateDivider=30
, the measure is updated every 30 seconds.If
UpdateDivider=-1
or any negative number, then the measure is only updated once when the skin is loaded or refreshed. OnUpdateAction
-
Action to execute each time the measure is updated.
Note: This may be based on the values in Update in the [Rainmeter] section and any UpdateDivider on the measure, or if the measure is updated with a Measure Bang or other relevant bang.
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. This can be useful to create a smoother transition on some graphical meters.
DynamicVariables
Default:0
-
If set to
1
, the measure is dynamic.See also: Dynamic Variables
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 previously obtained string value (e.g. when used in String meters). Paused
Default:0
-
If set to
1
, the measure value is never updated. A paused measure will return its most recent number and/or string value. Group
-
Defines a group or series of groups that the measure belongs to. For more information please see the Groups page.
