If you reload GKrellM with the gkrellmGIMPS module in the correct location, you should see a new title under 'Plugins' in the configuration monitors list called 'GIMPS'.

Like other GKrellM monitors, the 'info' tab provides quick and dirty help on configuration as well as a reference for format string syntax. The 'about' tab displays gkrellmGIMPS version info.

The tabs labelled 'CPU/Instance n' contain an identical set of widgets meant to adjust the preferences for monitoring the nth instance of your GIMPS client.

• Show this instance:
This checkbox decides whether to display any panels at all for the specified instance. If off, no other config settings are considered.
• Minutes between progress updates:
Sets the interval between disk reads to the GIMPS client's persistent data. Note that it doesn't make sense to have this number be less than the 'DiskWriteTime' value found in your client's prime.ini file.
• Location of work-to-do file:
Full name of the GIMPS client's work list. The path will also be used to find the temporary progress file.


• Show incremental progress meter:
Some jobs done by the GIMPS client have intemediate stages that can be measured. This checkbox decides if such a panel will be visible.
• Show overall progress meter:
This checkbox turns on (or off) the krell which displays overall work unit progress.


• Format string:
In addition to the standard percentage krells, the following formatting codes may be entered in the 'Format string' text entry boxes to reveal additional progress information.



Code	Type			Meaning
$n	All			The number currently being tested.
$T	All			Type of work underway. (eg. 'Factor')
$t	All			First letter of above.
$B	Factoring			Exponent limit for trial factoring.
$b	Factoring			Current exponent for trial factoring (<= $B).
$[.?]P	All			Percent complete for overall work unit. This percentage can be modified by a '.' and any one digit to produce floating point output to the requested precision. (eg. '$.3P%' might produce '42.071%')
$[.?]p	All			Percent complete for current increment (see above).
$$	All			Produces a '$'. (shrug)
