No warranty is expressed or implied. HISTORY: Windows Queue loading application for Microsoft Windows originally called SYSQUEUE and written by Barry Press, adapted from FREEMEM.C written by Charles Petzold. Graphical display added by Alec Saunders. Renamed to SYSGRAPH to allow coexistence with SYSQUEUE. Rescaling features and About.. dialog box added by Bill Crow, Hewlett-Packard Co. OPERATION: SysGraph displays the load in the Windows system queue in an icon at the bottom of the screen. The graph is updated every 1/2 second. Additional system load is shown by dips in the graph. I liked Alec Saunder's graphical representation of the changes in system load, but the Y-axis scaling was fixed well below the useful range for my 20Mhz 80386 system. Rather than just increase the value of the fixed scaling, I considered a couple different ways to auto-scale the graph. Since I couldn't decide which way was the best (continous auto-scaling, or scaling based on the largest recorded value) I decided to implement both with a user option to select between them. The graph will automatically rescale to accommodate the largest values recorded. Two commands are available on the system menu: Rescale: A one-time rescaling of the graph is performed, based on the data points currently displayed. This command is only enabled when Auto Rescale is turned off. Auto Rescale: This mode is turned on and off by selecting this menu command. When it is on, a checkmark is placed by the menu item and the Rescale command is disabled. When The option is enabled, the graph is continually rescaled based on the displayed data points. Otherwise, the scaling is only changed to accommodate new maximum data points or when the Rescale command is used.
