I've got tired of referring to the program by two different names, so I've decided to give it a more meaningful name, DSLstats. When you first run this version it should pick up your previous rs-ux/w configuration if it exists, and copy it across to the new name. You may need to check that the router login password is still correct. The snapshot directory will remain the same, so you may want to edit it.

Full list of changes in this version:

- changed program name to DSLstats (previously rs-x/rs-w)
- added option for logarithmic Y axis on CRC graph
- added option to disable popup hints
- passwords are now encrypted in the .ini file
- added option to save snapshots in daily folders
- added page of advanced tweaks
- the SNRM tweak value can now be changed in increments of 0.1 dB
- added option to hide upstream or downstream data on 'per minute' graphs
- added some extra data to the Stats page
- added options to start minimised and to start recording on program launch
- event log is now displayed by default
- fixed issue with some systems in which autosizing of text items didn't work correctly
- fixed issue whereby the bitswaps per minute graph would plot continuous zeroes after a resync
- fixed issue whereby the interleaving values were read from the wrong section on some systems
- fixed misbehaviour of max sustainable speed graph after a re-sync
- corrected absence of DSLAM/MSAN type in Stats page with some systems

Eric I cant run the 32-bit linux version without it crashing with an access violation. Initially I tried using my rsuxc settings but then deleted them and started afresh but still no joy it crashes. It happens right at the end of sampling.

[roseway]

I'll check that out as quickly as I can, Stuart.

[roseway]

I've checked it out and it runs with no problems here. I've downloaded the 32-bit Linux version from the website, and that also runs with no problem. So I'm a bit mystified.

Could you try running it from a terminal, to see if any error messages are returned?

Stuart

[roseway]

Does sampling seem to take the normal time, or is it curtailed?

[broadstairs]

Seems to me that sampling takes about the normal time. I'll try turning off some of the options to see if I can see any difference.

Stuart

Edit: just tested with only SNR and connection speed and still crashes

[roseway]

I've just had a thought - what router are you currently using? I did make a change to the way I extract the connection speed and max attainable speeds, so it's just possible that something has gone astray there. If you're not using the HG612, could you please copy the output of the --stats command to me.

[broadstairs]

Eric it's an HG622.

Thanks Stuart, I think that may explain the problem.

I've got some computer problems at the moment, and I'm using a different PC for this, but I'll get back to the problem as soon as I can.

[roseway]

I've fixed the problem now. Different versions of the Broadcom CLI report the connection speeds in several different ways, and in making a change in this area to fix another problem I'd inadvertently messed up the processing of the data from the HG622. I've got it running properly now with an HG622, and I'll upload the corrected version shortly.

[broadstairs]

Thanks Eric, superb support as always.

May I ask one thing, so far I've not seen an option to get to the new version screen while the program is running, if I'm right and there is not an option can you add an option for manually checking for a new version, and perhaps an option for checking every n hours or days? Would be useful for anyone running the program 24x7.

Stuart

[roseway]

Corrected version 3.1 is now available for download: http://dslstats.plainroad.me.uk

Stuart, the program should check every 12 hours for a new version. Perhaps this is too long a period, and I should reduce it to (say) every three hours? And I could certainly add an option to manually check for an upgrade.

I'll give the 3.1 version a go now.

As to the checking for new versions I'd make it default to 24 hours and provide an option to do it manually, personally I think 12 hours is a bit short. Maybe you could provide an option for the user to decide how long between checks, I'd go for a minimum of 1 day upwards to say 30 days and give a Check Now option as well. Just my view on it.

Stuart

Edit: Success Eric it is running fine.

As an aside just noticed that my line did a re-sync today after 90 days of uptime. Just wonder if TT force a re-sync after 90 days? Could not see a reason for it otherwise as the SNR was good.

[roseway]

Thanks for letting me know, Stuart. I'll have a think about your suggestion for upgrade checking, but it sounds reasonable.

90 days of uptime, eh? At the present time I'm pleased if I get one day. Earlier this afternoon it gave up altogether (still in sync, but wouldn't connect to TT). So I switched the router off for 45 minutes, and at the moment it's OK.
