HG612 Modem Stats r2.1 released
« on: May 15, 2014, 09:14:02 PM »

 15/05/2014:


A version 2.1 revision to the HG612 Modem Stats package has now been released.

It is available here:-

http://www.freewarefiles.com/HG612-Modem-Stats_program_84567.html

Click the Blue Download Now! button & choose one of the Download Mirrors.


It is still currently aimed only at VDSL2/FTTC connections for Microsoft Windows users, using a Huawei HG612 modem or a ZyXel VMG8324-B10A combined modem/router.


The package has been fully tested on XP, Vista, Windows 7 & Windows 8/8.1 systems.



What΄s New in version 2.1:



• Added the option to record extra debugging information.
   Along with Extensive event logging, this option can be turned OFF, with very minimal data stored.

   Turning these options OFF speeds up the programs, so it *may* be necessary
   to apply a different PC speed setting in the event of failed data harvests
   for faster PCs.

•  Added option to choose the PC speed setting.
   FAST actually slows the programs down by adding slight pauses in order
   to ensure the modem can keep pace with the PC.
   SLOW adds no pauses. This speeds up the programs on slower PCs.
   MEDIUM is the middle ground between FAST & SLOW settings.

•  ONGOING_ISRUNNING files are now always deleted, but a record of
   when 2 instances of HG612_stats.exe were running is stored in a log file.

•  Moved various log files to a new folder named Event & Error Logs to keep them together

•  Fixed error in modem_stats.log & in Ongoing stats graphs.
   US_OHFErr(i.e. US CRC) data was incorrectly being stored as DS_OHFErr
   US_OHFErr.png was thus incorrectly plotting DS_OHFErr data
   This error was carried into line_stats__FULL_MONTY_P-xxxxxxxx-xxxx.png

•  Added support for ZyXel VMG8324-B10A combined modem/router.
   
   Not actually tested, but it is believed this option will also
   work with other ZyXel modem/router combinations.

•  Fixed an issue with some user defined folder names that included spaces not beng recognised

•  Added drop down list of modems in the GUI to select from.
   If a modem isn't chosen or if using an older version of the ini file, the programs will default to using the HG612

•  Added the option to choose/create a different folder for the ongoing modem_stats.log & xlogfile.txt

•  Added US OHFErr (FEC) errors graph to FULL__MONTY montage of Ongoing Stats.

•  Added more error checking in get_data() function, forcing a controlled exit if 'stuck' in a loop attempting to obtain data.

•  Cosmetic graph appearance changes

•  Added HG612's firmware version to pbParams stats window.

• Improved efficiency of snapshot graphing program (GRAPH6.exe)
               
   HG612_current_stats.exe now passes a parameter to GRAPH6.exe to confirm
   how the Plink log was generated i.e. via a scheduled or resync event,
   manually generated via HG612_current_stats.exe or by dragging & dropping
   a Plink log onto the GRAPH6.exe program icon.

•  Added support for VDSL2 Profile 8a (as used in the Isle of Man)


New users should simply extract the contents of the zip file to Drive C:, ensuring "Expand Folders" or similar setting is selected for a default setup.

Existing users of version 2.0 should extract all the files & subfolders to the relevant existing folders to ensure the slightly different operation of the package is picked up.

Once all the files are in place, existing users should delete the original HG612 Stats Program task & create a new one via the Settings GUI.

By default, Current (snapshot) data will be harvested & plotted every 8 hours, starting at 06:00 & Ongoing data will be harvested every minute, being plotted at 06:00 each day.

These settings can be easily adjusted or logging and/or automated graphing turned off via the Settings GUI.



As always, your feedback, comments & suggestions for further enhancements are welcomed.

I'm not sure I understand your explanation of the above . . .  ???

Thank you b*cat.

Now corrected.

It should have read:-

US_OHFErr(i.e. US CRC) data was incorrectly being stored as DS_OHFErr

I think I'd already fixed it by then.

If US_OHFErr(i.e. US CRC) & DS_OHFErr are identical, it's the old (incorrect) version.

I can confirm that everything seems to have been running flawlessly since my last report to BaldEagle.   Ive had a quick scan through the error logs and I cant see anything glaringly obvious.

For the record, I think its fair to say my PC would be classed as fast
CPU = i7-3770 @ 3.4GHz 3.90 GHz which according to Windows Experience is 7.8
Memory is also 7.8 with Disk transfer rate at 7.9
Im running Windows Pro 7.1

Over the past few weeks I'm happy to report that Ive run HG612 ModemStats under various settings Fast/Medium and with extensive logging on/off without any issues.  To also try and identify any issues the graph snapshots have been running at one hour intervals but this also seems ok.


Because Im aware that there have been a couple of major updates over the past week whilst Ive not been able to get to the PC properly and Ive also been getting any updates direct from BE.... I propose to completely start again from scratch just like anyone installing for the first time would, so that I can set my own prefs such as file location and logging times.


Huge thanks to BaldEagle for his time and effort into producing the scripts and Ronski for the updated Zyxel GUI.  :thumbs:

ETA

Attached full monty stats for the past 7 days.

Houston, I have a problem.   No stats are being obtained.
On the first run it created a Current-isrunning log in the scripts folder which didnt clear.   This then seemed to cause an issue.   I cleared HG612_stats.exe from Task Manager, but the problem just continually re-occurs on each subsequent run

Try directly running HG612 Run.exe from Windows, also the current stats exe as well. Sometimes Windows UAC stops the programs from running and there's an option not to ask again.

No still doesnt work.  I do get a cmd window which sticks at the following - which i think is the same as in the error log I posted above.


Code: [Select]
In expect("ATP>") loop, loop_ctr = 1
Sleeping for 0.000 seconds

total_sleep_time = 0.000 seconds

In expect("ATP>"), loop_ctr = 1, numbytes = 2. rxbuf =:-



loop_ctr = 2

Still in expect("ATP>") loop, loop_ctr = 02

In expect("ATP>"), loop_ctr = 2, numbytes = 3. rxbuf =:-
  >

loop_ctr = 3

Still in expect("ATP>") loop, loop_ctr = 03

Ive also tried running from the root of c:/  just to make sure theres not any path errors.


The version I have the problem with is the package I downloaded from your site today which was dated 15/05,  updating to the beta 18/05 is still broken for me.

That aint ever going to happen in the Zyxel...   which will probably be why its getting stuck and not reporting any stats.

Confirmed the Zyxel has been selected in the GUI and the .ini file has the following info

Code: [Select]
[Modem]
Modem_Type=                              ZyXel VMG8324-B10A


IP_address =                              192.168.1.1
