The realtime interval already is in seconds. The settings screen isn't explicit about this, but the help is. I'll change the screen to make it clearer.

Ouch! I did that by mistake and It really upset my networking settings. Causing an Winsock Error. Verified by Microsoft.

I would seriously change it to 10 for 10secs, or higher!

Regards

Your realtime.txt file appears to be updating every 10 seconds? Your gauges are updating every 60 seconds because that's what you've set them to on your page:

Code: Select all

<param name='flashVars' value='interval=60'/>  
The original gaugesT.htm uses the realtimeinterval web tag to set the interval to the same as your realtime upload interval:

Code: Select all

<param name='flashVars' value='interval=<#realtimeinterval>'/>
Bear in mind that the data from the VP2 only refreshes every 3 seconds or so, so a realtime interval of less than 3 isn't really productive.
