I need some help understanding what I'm looking at on the cgminer status page.

1. There is an Avalon Hash Rate and a Summary Hash rate. What's the difference?

2. What are normal values for the fans? Which fans should be working?

3. What are normal values for the temperature. Which temperatures should be working?

4. What's NMW?

5. What is the Miner Count and the Asic Count and how do they relate to the number of modules?

6. What's Local Work - or more specifically what data is changed locally?

7. What's Get Work when using Stratum?

8. What is Network Block?

--------------------------------------

I've answered some of my own questions from the cgminer API-README file.

Diff1 = The number of Difficulty 1 shares generated
DiffA = The number of Diff1 shares accepted
DiffR = The number of Diff1 shares rejected
LSD = Last Share Difficulty

Discarded = stale shares that cgminer knew were stale so it didn't even send them back to the pool

---------------------------------------

Thanks!

1. Avalon hashrate 5 seconds - the estimated hashrate of the last 5s based on diff1 work returned in last 5s / Summary hashrate shows mhsav - its the hashrate avg'd since cgminer has been running
2. All 3 fans should show a value. The first one is most likely lower than the 2rd & 3rd ones. Their normal value is generally greater than 2500-3000rpm if ur in a avg temp place.
3. Temps .. the 1st one is lower than the 2nd & 3rd, the 1st one is temp of the avalon fpga controller board(what Ive been told) .. 2 & 3 are temp sensors mounted onto bottom & top module heatsinks. Avg temp should be between 40-50c for the last 2 temps.(the last 2 will be 10-20C higher if you have a b3 unit)
4. NMW - no matching work, its a type of HW error, NMW is part of HW errors stat - they are both counted in diff1 share equivilants
5. Miner & ASIC count is, 10 ASIC chips per miner, 24miner boards per, 3 module avy (each module has 8 miners * 10 ASIC chips)
6. Local Work - not sure but its been in cgminer for mining since forever =P
7. not sure
8. Network Blocks - how many blocks have been found on network since cgminer been running

I can answer three of your questions with some certainty:

#1 The Avalon hash rate is a 5 second average snapshot. The summary hash rate is the average hash rate over the uptime of the box. The summary hash rate will give you a better sense to how your Avalon is performing in terms of GH/s.

#4 NMW stands for "No Matching Work". It appears that this is a count of the number of hardware errors.

#5 A hardware engineer told me recently that the Miner and Asic count is the description of the layout of chips in your box. So 24x10 is 240 chips. If you added another module or took out a module, those numbers would be modified.

Res Et Non Verbum

I'm asking same questions.. I'm also lost with a many of those features of the cgminer status page..

Recently I got 152724.14 MHS5s value on 70166.87 MHSav mining at 300M frequency.. and making a lot of fan noise. Shocked

I'm wondering about normal stats values just for reference.

Where can I get the Avalon's guide for Dummies?
