ATI Tray Tools plugin.

Ray Adams · Post by **Ray Adams** » April 2nd, 2005, 10:36 pm

Hello.
I have found this application (LCDSmartie) because I'm going to buy LCD module. This is very useful application! Congratulation guys!

I'm author of ATI Tray Tools (http://www.radeon2.ru/atitray/) Radeon Tweaker and I have created plugin to read information from ATI Tray Tools.
Here is a link to plugin http://www.radeon2.ru/atitray/plugins/attsmartie.zip . It can be used with last version of ATI Tray Tools and can show 10 parameters:

1 - GPU Temperature
2 - Environment Temperature
3 - GPU Speed
4 - MEM Speed
5 - FAN Duty %
6 - Return information about is 3D mode active or not?
7 - Return MAX GPU Temperature
8 - Return MAX ENV Temperature
9 - Return MIN GPU Temperature
10 - Return MIN Environment Temperature

(Last 4 parameters has bug in 538 build of ATI Tray Tools. To show this information you must enable Hardware Monitor to show temperatures in system tray, but now I'm fixing this issue and in next release you will be able to just enable Hardware Monitor and receive all this information without displaying it in system tray).

Also ATI Tray Tools provide more information about current 3D settings (AA/AF), but Smartie support only 10 sources. I hope you guys upgrade plugins API in future releases to support unlimited sources. It is not so difficult to create. Just for example, plugin must export one function. Let?s name it GetValue, where 1 parameter will index of information to return.

Contact me if you have questions about it.

Hi Ray

I have been using Tray Tools since I have had an ATI card, so first let me thank you, since it is the best utility for ATI owners.

Secondly, how easy would it be to implement the OSD info (fps in particular) into the LCD Smartie plugin? I have a CrystalFontz 631 and would love to know my fps while playing games without using up screen space.

Shared Memory must be enabled in ATT to use this plugin

@Ray Adams:
Is it possible to include the fps rate into hte plugin?
The one wich is shown in 3d mode in the osd?

Ray Adams · Post by **Ray Adams** » February 28th, 2006, 1:10 pm

Yes. SharedMemory was updated in last releases to include additional information , so it will not be a problem

HeAtom · Post by **HeAtom** » March 3rd, 2006, 3:41 pm

Could you add these new values to your smartie plugin? or could you publish the sourcecode? Would be very nice.

Ray Adams · Post by **Ray Adams** » March 3rd, 2006, 7:48 pm

Read the first post. There are no additional sources supported by LCDSmartie.

Actually, the limit was raised from 10 to 20 over a year ago. However, we are definitely changing the API so that any number of functions (not even numbered, but named) can be used. We will provide a method for you to list what the name of each function is and how many parameters it requires. However, we need to get the current release out of beta before we do so. Rest assured, this will not take long.

HeAtom · Post by **HeAtom** » March 4th, 2006, 5:08 pm

^^ if it supports 20 functions is it then possible to include or could you publish the source that everybody can edit the functions to display the values he wants to?

Ray Adams · Post by **Ray Adams** » March 4th, 2006, 6:42 pm

I will update plugin on next week.
Or if anyone can update it I can post source code.

HeAtom · Post by **HeAtom** » March 4th, 2006, 7:48 pm

Thank you... your my personal hero

I don't know if i can do it... but i'll try it...
I'm not very good in programming but i try to improve myself...
so if you want you can post the sourcecode
