The history graph is usefull you want to try over a 5 minute period or so, actually i think it's kind of stuck in Touch it only progress 0.5 centimeter :-/ A single display ? you have to avarage over time and set a goal in how many % is acceptable over X minutes at Y speed and then present that ? do I get it like 2 minutes at 4800k 98% or similar. Or do you intent to do sequence where you try to slowly raise the speed until it drops under 100% ? and present that speed as the test result. The problem is that you have to maintain steady streaming over time to do a test that emulates the reality the player faces, so a good test is as long as a normal tune or even like 30 minutes or so, most non geeky people are bored to tears by then. Or maybe a message "the performance test will take 10 minutes..." the user could do something else for that period come back and be presented with 1 number that indicates network performance is that a plan ? Maybe a clock like display like the speedometer in your car would look more interesting and the 100% clock display besides it the "speedometer" could have a scale 0-5000kps that would indicate that there is more than one speed to do the test at. I think many user fails to recognize, that you can try different speeds. when your finished and x/y graph could pop up presenting speed over time and % over time -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe'Primare and Dynadio speakers (including a pair of Contour 4 ) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: SB3 + powered Fostex PM0.4 Miscellaneous use: Radio (with battery) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to control this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77349 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
