💡 Examples

Example 1: Simple Temperature Display

    ConsoleWrite("Intel CPU Cores:" & @CRLF)
    For $i = 0 To UBound($aTemps) - 1
        ConsoleWrite("  Core " & $i & ": " & $aTemps[$i] & "°C" & @CRLF)
    Next
EndIf

; GPU
If $aInfo[5] Then
    For $i = 0 To $aInfo[6] - 1
        ConsoleWrite("NVIDIA GPU " & $i & ": " & _HWMon_NVIDIA_GetGPUTemp($i) & "°C" & @CRLF)
    Next
EndIf

; Storage
If $aInfo[9] Then
    For $i = 0 To $aInfo[10] - 1
        ConsoleWrite("Drive " & $i & ": " & _HWMon_Storage_GetDriveTemp($i) & "°C" & @CRLF)
    Next
EndIf

_HWMon_Shutdown()

Example 3: Real-time Monitoring Loop

#include "HardwareMonitor.au3"

_HWMon_Startup()

While True
    ; Update every second
    ConsoleWrite("CPU: " & _HWMon_Intel_GetPackageTemp() & "°C | ")
    ConsoleWrite("GPU: " & _HWMon_NVIDIA_GetGPUTemp() & "°C" & @CRLF)
    
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

_HWMon_Shutdown()

⚠️ Requirements

Windows x64 - Only 64-bit supported
Administrator rights - Required for PawnIO driver (CPU temp)
AutoIt x64 - Must use 64-bit AutoIt

🔧 Error Handling

If Not _HWMon_Startup() Then
    Switch @error
        Case 1
            ConsoleWrite("DLL not found!" & @CRLF)
        Case 2
            ConsoleWrite("Failed to open DLL!" & @CRLF)
        Case 3
            ConsoleWrite("Initialization failed!" & @CRLF)
    EndSwitch
    Exit
EndIf

; Check for warnings
Local $sError = _HWMon_GetLastError()
If $sError <> "" Then
    ConsoleWrite("Warning: " & $sError & @CRLF)
EndIf

📝 Notes

PawnIO driver is optional - GPU and Storage work without it
Lazy initialization - Modules auto-initialize on first use
Module detection - Check _HWMon_GetModuleInfo() before use
Error messages - Use _HWMon_GetLastError() for details

🎯 Best Practices

Always check module availability:

Local $aInfo = _HWMon_GetModuleInfo()
If $aInfo[2] Then
    ; Intel CPU available
EndIf

Handle errors gracefully:

If Not _HWMon_Startup() Then
    ; Fallback or exit
EndIf

Cleanup on exit:

_HWMon_Shutdown()

Update before reading:

; UDF handles this automatically
Local $fTemp = _HWMon_Intel_GetPackageTemp()

🚀 Performance

Initialization: ~100ms (one-time)
Temperature read: ~1-5ms per sensor
Module detection: ~150ms (one-time)

📄 License

Same as HardwareMonitor.dll

Happy monitoring! 🎉
