Hardware Monitor Widget Edition is the Dashboard version of its "bigger brother" Hardware Monitor. You need a working registered copy of Hardware Monitor in order to fully use this widget. The applications are designed to give you access to all sensor readings Mac OS X uses to monitor and cool your computer.
Unlike other widgets, Hardware 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'.
Note: Hardware Monitor Widget Edition is an add-on for the Hardware Monitor application. As soon as you have a valid license for Hardware Monitor, the widget will be automatically unlocked, too. You can use both parts with the same key.
Here are some key features of "Hardware Monitor Widget Edition":
· The widget allows you to select two of your computer's sensors which should be displayed via Dashboard.
· You can view the sensor readouts in a compact panel.
· Temperature values can be displayed in Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin.
· To display more than two sensor readings in Dashboard you can launch multiple copies of the widget.
Limitations:
· The program will only display readouts of temperature sensors, not other values like voltage, current, fan speed, etc.
