On the subject of the min QLN roundtuit, mine goes 'down' to -150.5 and is around the 149 -150 mark from tone 375 upwards (ADSL2+) so you need to go to -160.

There are pro's and con's of having the QLN and Hlog graphs autoscaling to whatever are the min/max's.
While it would maximise the use of the chart area, as most users charts should be broadly similar, doing comparisons between different lines or even charts at different times for one user where the Y axis scaling is different on each graph might actually be rather irritating/confusing.

I agree with you there, c6em. When I first added these graphs I left some leeway in the minimum values because I wasn't sure what range of values the program was going to encounter. I don' t think they should auto-rescale, for the reason you gave.

I agree completely, hope it didn't come across that I was suggesting that?... I think they should be fixed and at a smaller scale so that you can get finer grained resolution of the stats, especialy in the QLN graph

Yeah good suggestion by kitz, is it possible to have it Start in the tray so it can run hidden without bothering you

I've added this option now, as well as the 'start recording' option.

oh i didnt notice you added the DSLAM/MSAN Type...thing is its not displaying mine?



the command for my Netgear DG834N is adslctl info --vendor and this is what it shows, while version number isnt really important it would be good too show it.

adslctl: ADSL driver and PHY status
Status: ShowtimeRetrain Reason: 8000
Channel: FAST, Upstream rate = 1204 Kbps, Downstream rate = 17600 Kbps
ChipSet Vendor Id:      BDCM:0x   0
ChipSet VersionNumber:  v10.06.33
ChipSet SerialNumber:   
#

is it possible to have the ID and Version Number one same line perhaps? e.g. BDCM:0x  0 / v10.06.33

thanks again Eric, your a star!!

I'm not sure why the program doesn't pick up the vendor with your router, but I should be able to fix it. I'll attach the version number as well, as you suggest.

[Edit] I've found the reason. Now fixed.

Thank you VM Eric

[Update] Now added to all the time-related graphs, apart from the connection speed graph, where the issue wouldn't seem to apply.

Thanks Eric, the new version has significant improvements. You're on a roll! 

One other thing you might want to consider: are there some graphs (e.g. bitswaps/min, the various error rates) that might look better as bar graphs rather than line graphs (or possibly as at EU options choice)?

Just occurred to me while looking at the new version, which with 1min samples (for /min rate data),  the line graphs sometimes alternate between a spike and a flat line (when intermediate values are zero).  In such cases (low rates) a bar graph might give a better feel?  What do you think?

Many thanks again.  Each new version improves an already good tool!  :clap2:

[snadge]

I have to agree with Colin, bars (or choice) would be great

I can certainly have a look at that. One thing which occurs immediately though, is that there is both upstream and downstream data shown on those graphs, and it wouldn't really be practicable to have both simultaneously on a bar chart - I would have to make it so that only one direction at a time was shown.

Yes, you are right; that's why it's always best for you (the designer/developer) to make those decisions. 

Thanks for considering it anyway, whatever you decide. 

[c6em]

The only way you could do it is if you displayed in a 3-D type of chart
Routerstats does this on the telnet access graphs - it also needs the ability to swap the plots round to bring one in front of the other otherwise say the upstream can get part hidden behind the D/S if the DS bitswapping is highly active.

See attached sample from RS

I don't think I'm very keen on that presentation, to be honest, but I'll give some thought to how I might implement it.

[snadge]

It doesn't need to be 3D does it? Upload is always less so just have it sit over the top of the download one.. And have it so that they can swap around if upload exceeds download, e.g.  You would have a green (upload)  bar, the rest of the bar would be blue (download).. If upload exceeds download then bottom of the graph would be blue (download) and top green (upload), for those rare occasions they are the same have the bar be grey or summit?

Don't you think that would look a bit of a mess? I've made a quick mod to show the CRC/min graph as a barchart, retaining the separate up and down switches, and you can see what it looks like below. The first one is with both up and down included, the second is down only, and the third is up only.
