AETray is a monitoring software for the Aqua Computer aquaero 4.00 for Microsoft Windows. The software adds an icon into the notification area (aka system tray) of the taskbar. The icon displays the status of all attached aquaeros and provides further status information, if the user hovers over the icon with the mouse.

The software provides read-only status information for your aquaero devices using only approximately 300kb of memory. Much less than running the AquaSuite (>20 MB) for the same monitoring purposes.

Use this software to receive status notifications, if your computer is beneath your desk and/or out of sight like mine. Also very useful for aquaeroLT owners.

Den Bug mit den Temp-Sensoren habe ich bereits gefixt. Den hat Shoggy schon im deutschen Thread im Überwachungs-Forum gepostet. Im nächsten Build ist der weg.

Wegen der Schriftgröße bin ich noch am grübeln - ich hab da keinen Layoutmanager dahinter. Die Texte sind einfach "statisch" da... :|

Zur Frequenz: Wenn Du mit der Maus über den graphischen Balken gehst, siehst Du alle Details der Aquastream in einem Tooltip. In der 0.1 ist da allerdings noch ein Bug drin, da zeigt es die Frequenz nicht richtig an. Der ist auch schon behoben - ich grübel nochmal ob ich die Frequenz in den normalen Dialog mit aufnehme.

Danke fürs Feedback

I'm sorry my french is a bit dusted. If you're asking for the english version I'll release it soon. If you want to provide a translation to your language - it'll be very easy.

I have decided to upload Version 0.2 of AETray. It may have some bugs, which I'll squash if you report them to me. This version adds english translations for UK and US users. If you're not from the above countries you may want to look at the FAQ (below) to help me translate it to your country/language.

Anyways, here's the change log:

- Visual C++ Runtime Library is not required and not used anymore
- aquaero alarm register is evaluated and failure notifications displayed for those errors.
- Missing temperature sensors do not cause failure reports
- No flow meter #2 errors generated if Fan4 header is used for a fourth fan or unused.
- Better detection of missing fans (see FAQ)
- Better detection of missing flow meters (see FAQ)
- Broken tooltip for fan1 fixed
- Added english translations for US and UK users
- Added support for different languages. (see FAQ: How can I translate AETray?)
- Aquastream frequency display corrected and frequency is displayed in status dialog if aquastream status is ok
- Display of values and physical units in tooltips corrected
- Failure report balloon tooltips are displayed every five minutes (instead of once.)
- Double clicking AETray icon launches AquaSuite
- Better asynchronous communication with aquaero
- Synchronizes aquaero clock to clock of the PC.

The memory requirements are a little higher, but they'll go down again.

I've compiled an FAQ for all problems encountered in Version 0.1. Please read it, if you encounter problems as the answers are still valid.

Here's the download link.

Ralph Candau has provided me with a french translation of AETray. Thank you very much Ralph!
