Arctucas Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I notice AIDA64 able to monitor the battery voltage of my APC Back-UPS RS 1500 LCD. Could this be added to the Sensor Panel/OSD please? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 For smart batteries such info should be listed on the Computer / Power Management page in AIDA64. Regards, Fiery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctucas Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Yes, I saw that and wondered if it was not possible to make it appear in the OSD and Sensor Panel as well? Thanks EDIT: I have found that an application called SIW can also display the amount of power (in Watts) being drawn through the UPS. Would it also be possible to add that reading? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mac Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 that would be nice to add to my G-19 display so i can see what im drawing while gaming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Yes, I saw that and wondered if it was not possible to make it appear in the OSD and Sensor Panel as well? We'll work on it I have found that an application called SIW can also display the amount of power (in Watts) being drawn through the UPS.Would it also be possible to add that reading? Do you mean the Discharge Rate that is already reported in AIDA64 / Computer / Power Management page? If you mean something else, then please show us on a SIW screen shot if possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctucas Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 @Fiery, Thanks. Is the Discharge rate supposed to be on this page? Here is a snip of SIW (2011 build 0707). The columns are, left to right, Value Min Max. The readings appear to be close to what is displayed on the UPS LCD screen, so I would guess they are fairly accurate? Any other information I can provide to help, please ask. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Thank you for the screen shots. Discharge Rate is only available when the UPS switches to DC power. We'll check if it's possible to measure the power draw via Smart Battery API calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctucas Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 Thanks. I have the utmost confidence that you will find a solution. Keep up the great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 As a first step, we've added Battery Voltage to the Computer / Sensor page of AIDA64, also to the hardware monitoring module (OSD Panel, Sidebar Gadget, SensorPanel, etc). Please upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.co...14gcn7wyrhdzzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know how it works. We'll also work on the UPS power readout, which apparently is specific to APC UPSes, hence it cannot be done via the standard Windows Smart Battery API...

Arctucas Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 @Fiery, The voltage sensor works perfectly, thank you very much for adding this. I am sure that if anyone can figure out the power sensor, it is you. Keep up the excellent work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mac Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I have an APC ups as well, I dont seem to be showing any battertinfo via the power page in Aida64 Any progess on athe APC API? Realtime power draw would be killer for my g19 while gaming to see how nasty my electric bill will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realtime power draw would be killer for my g19 while gaming to see how nasty my electric bill will be. Not all APC UPSes are capable of providing power draw measurement. Back-UPS RS and Back-UPS Pro Series should be able to provide that. Which APC UPS do you have? We're already working on the APC API. It will take a few more days to properly implement and test it.

The Mac Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Back-UPS ES 750, It must be in the API, as the powerchute app (3.0.0.1)shows it realtime via USB, along with all kinds of other data... Not really helpful for gaming info, as if i alt-tab out of my game, everything clocks down.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Thank you for the screen shot. We've implemented power draw and battery voltage measurement for APC HID UPS devices in the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.co...07m7bnd8glcszip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know how it works Thanks, Fiery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mortillo Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hello, i have an APC Back-UPS PRO 1200 but under the page Computer / Power Management page in AIDA64 i get nothing.. It say that i get normal DC power.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 APC PowerChute application can disable the classic Windows Smart Battery API. In such case AIDA64 will show no battery info on the Computer / Power Management page. We're already working on a solution for that, by utilizing the APC HID API to gather battery properties. Meanwhile, you can see the battery voltage and battery power load measurements on the Computer / Sensor page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortillo Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Oooook, i will add it on my g19 lcd screen... hope to see the % on gpu memory too =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 We've implemented generic HID UPS support, and extended the battery information on the Computer / Power Management page using HID calls. We've also added quite a few new readings, like Battery Input Voltage, Battery Output Voltage, Battery Output Current, Battery Output Power, etc. Please note that not all those readings are available on a UPS. The most readings are supported by such higher-end models as APC Smart-UPS Series. Make sure to upgrade to the following new beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition: http://www.aida64.co...12y4qdz2gtxvzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know how it works Thanks, Fiery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Tending towards the dumb, I believe i am qualified to ask a dumb question. Should I be able to show "Power State" and "Estimated Battery Time" on my SensorPanel display? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Tending towards the dumb, I believe i am qualified to ask a dumb question. Should I be able to show "Power State" and "Estimated Battery Time" on my SensorPanel display? Currently those items not available for OSD Panel or SensorPanel. We'll work on that, and as soon as there's an update, we'll post it into this topic. Meanwhile, can you please right-click on the bottom status bar of AIDA64 main window --> System Debug --> Battery Dump. Copy-paste the full results into this topic. We'd like to check whether more sensor readings may be available for your UPS that we should implement. Thanks, Fiery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
