Start the preferences
When you open FreeMeter for the first time, you will be presented with the preferences, with an explanation that you have the option Preferences the next time by right-clicking the title bar. In those preferences you indicate, for example, that FreeMeter should always remain over other windows and that the meters always look up a corner of the screen.
Meters
Even more important is which meters you want to display. By default, FreeMeter specifies the system uptime, or how long you have Windows-pc has been active since the last boot. The tool shows volume information of the disk drives, the available free space and the percentage of the used space. There is a meter for the CPU usage, one for the read and write access to the disks, and a meter that checks the network transfer rates. You will of course also read the use of internal memory and virtual memory.
System tray
FreeMeter also places icons in the system tray that refer to the individual gauges of this tool. In the standard installation, there are three icons: cpu, ram and page file usage. If you don’t want to see those icons, you can change that in the tab Meter Options of preferences. Then you should list the value Tray icon for those items. In the same way, you can also place other meters as icons in the system tray or not.
Conclusion
The number of meters that this version makes available is more than enough for the home user. You can download even more meters from the website, but then you have to buy a pro license, which is actually intended for system administrators and extreme power users. FreeMeter is an excellent tool for the conscious user and useful if you want to diagnose technical problems.
