Change Unit

[iiTz_Darkness]

If I want to change the unit type, for example, change the network upload/download rate from KB/s to MB/s or Mbps, how would I do that ? I cant seem to edit the Unit field.

Go into sensor settings (the wheel at bottom of window) - Custom tab.
There you can adjust the Unit name and using Customize values and applying a 0.001 (or 0.0009765625 if using 1024 as KB) Multiply factor to MB/s.

For unit name, just use rename ?
If there a list for multiply factor or formula ?

 

[Martin]

Yes, rename.
For MB/s you need to divide KB/s by 1000 (or 1024). So using a multiplication factor (proportional to division) 1/1000 = 0.001 or 1/1024 = 0.0009765625. Simple math

So I want to see Mb/s which is the standard of seeing your internet speed nowadays. I should multiply by 0.008192 ? Is that correct?

Yes, it should be correct if I calculate right

 

[Zodler]

Maybe it is better to add some of these major units built-in the software. To already have Mb/s, MB/s, KB/s.

Maximum and minimum figures are not affected by this change although the unit is.

 

[Martin]

Those sampled before the change aren't, but afterwards should be.

Excuse my ignorance but whats the point of using the "simple math" aka 0.0009765625 because when I used that figure my speeds show 62 MB/s with a 500 MB/s download (nowhere close to being correct).
Maybe im missing something? its been a long time since I went to school. Thanks to @Zodler though his 0.008192 figure shows nearly the exact DL/UL speeds as when running a speedtest.

Maybe someone can clarify why you would want to use the "simple math" and visualize your DL speed as 1/8 of your actual DL speed?

Well, because internet companies now sell internet based on Mb/s, so if the reading is showing KB/s in HWINFO, it makes it difficult to get them to lower your payments due to you not having accurate proof of their shortcomings.
