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!

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.
