| method, CPUInfo | So, 28. Apr 2002 | |||
| Mac OS Classic: Works. | Mac OS Carbon: Should work. | Windows: returns allways -1. | ||
|
Function:
Returns the Speed of the main CPU in Hz. | ||||
|

|
Function:
Returns the current Speed of the main CPU. | ||||
|
Example:
dim c as cpuinfo c=new cpuInfo msgbox "Your main CPU runs currently at "+format(c.CurrentProcessorSpeed/1000000.0,"0")+" MHz" | ||||
|
Notes:
Returns 0 if this feature is not supported (e.g. on a desktop G4). | ||||
FullProcessorSpeed as Boolean | ||||
| method, CPUInfo | So, 28. Apr 2002 | |||
| Mac OS Classic: Works. | Mac OS Carbon: Should work. | Windows: returns allways false. | ||
|
Function:
Returns true if the CPU is running at full speed. | ||||
|
Example:
dim c as cpuinfo c=new cpuInfo b=c.FullProcessorSpeed | ||||
|
Notes:
Only used on Powerbooks. | ||||
MaximumProcessorSpeed as Integer | ||||
| method, CPUInfo | So, 28. Apr 2002 | |||
| Mac OS Classic: Works. | Mac OS Carbon: Works. | Windows: returns allways -1. | ||
|
Function:
Returns the maximum Speed of the main CPU. | ||||
|
Example:
dim c as cpuinfo c=new cpuInfo msgbox "Your main CPU runs maximum at "+format(c.MaximumProcessorSpeed/1000000.0,"0")+" MHz" | ||||
|
Notes:
Returns 0 if this feature is not supported (e.g. on a desktop G4). | ||||
MinimumProcessorSpeed as Integer | ||||
| method, CPUInfo | So, 28. Apr 2002 | |||
| Mac OS Classic: Works. | Mac OS Carbon: Works. | Windows: returns allways -1. | ||
|
Function:
Returns the minimum Speed of the main CPU. | ||||
|
Example:
dim c as cpuinfo c=new cpuInfo msgbox "Your main CPU runs minimum at "+format(c.MinimumProcessorSpeed/1000000.0,"0")+" MHz" | ||||
|
Notes:
Returns 0 if this feature is not supported (e.g. on a desktop G4). | ||||
ProcessorCyclingEnabled as Boolean | ||||
| method, CPUInfo | Sa, 27. Jul 2002 | |||
| Mac OS Classic: Works. | Mac OS Carbon: Should work. | Windows: returns allways false. | ||
|
Function:
Returns whether ProcessorCycling is enabled to save energy. | ||||
|
Example:
dim c as cpuinfo c=new cpuInfo b=c.ProcessorCycling | ||||
|
Notes:
ProcessorCycling saves time but slows down performance. | ||||
SetProcessorSpeed(full as boolean) as boolean | ||||
| method, CPUInfo | So, 28. Apr 2002 | |||
| Mac OS Classic: Works. | Mac OS Carbon: Works. | Windows: does nothing and returns false | ||
|
Function:
Set the CPU speed to full or reduced speed. | ||||
|
Example:
dim c as cpuinfo c=new cpuInfo c.SetProcessorSpeed true | ||||
|
Notes:
Only usefull on Powerbooks which can reduce CPU speed like the iBooks. | ||||
