Temperature Monitor Widget 2.0

Temperature Monitor Widget Edition is the Dashboard version of its "bigger brother" Temperature Monitor. It is recommended that you use Temperature Monitor first before using the widget edition to learn more about the sensor equipment of your computer. The applications are designed to give you access to all temperature sensor readings Mac OS X uses to monitor and cool your computer.

The widget allows you to select two of your computer's temperature sensors which should be displayed via Dashboard.

Unlike other widgets, Temperature Monitor is capable of processing the hardware calibration data Apple stores individually into each G5-based computer. So it displays the exact readings Mac OS X internally uses for cooling control, not just an "educated guess".

Temperature Monitor Widget Edition is the small gratis version of the application Hardware Monitor Widget Edition. Hardware Monitor is capable of displaying "non-temperature" sensors additionally. Temperature Monitor Widget Edition is part of a software suite of 9 different monitoring applications which can be used for numerous purposes.

Temperature Monitor Widget Edition is electronically distributed software. You can download the product free of charge.

New in version 2.0:
Added support for a large number of new temperature sensors of Intel-based Macintosh systems. This includes thermal diodes monitoring the processors externally, GPU sensors, drive bay sensors and FB-DIMM sensors of the Mac Pro, etc.

Airlook 2.0

Airlook is Mac OS X widget which displays Airport Express Base Station information.

The widget makes use of SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) which Airport Base Stations offer, as a mean to inspect internal information. What the widget displays is actually a small subset of what can be retrieved using the SNMP commands.

Under normal conditions, the following information is displayed:

• Name: the device name
• Uptime: the time elapsed since the last reset
• TCP reset sent: represents the number of TCP Reset sent by the Airport station. When using Airport in combination with a ADSL modem, this represents the number of incoming TCP connection received from public Internet and being refused by Airport. Of course, if the ADSL modem already implements firewalling, this value may equal 0.
• IP octets received: this value is relative to the Ethernet interface of Airport
• IP octets sent: this value is relative to the Ethernet interface of Airport

From the V2 version of Airlook, the information is refreshed periodically every 2 seconds. The widget content is also updated when Dashboard is put to front (e.g. by using "F12" or by clicking on the dashboard dock icon).

Some parameters need to be set up for the widget to work properly. The input screen is the back side of the widget, which is displayed when clicking on the bottom right "i":

• The Airport IP address
• The configuration password (the same the the one used with the Apple Airport Configuration tool)

The parameters need only to be specified once. When being entered, they are stored as part of the widget preferences.
In case the parameter values are not correct, the widget will obviously not work as above. For more information on erroneous case and the possible workaround, please have a look to the readme file.

New in version 2.0:
• Updated user interface.
• Widget display is now refreshed every 2s.

System requirements:
• Mac OSX 10.4.3 and above
• An Airport Express (although it may also work with other Wifi devices implementing SNMP) .

System Support:
PPC/Intel

Free
