Dear All,
I have written several macros for text handling by Macro Express. Text files to be processed are huge, so macro runtime is very long (even one day may be required, although the macro runs very quickly).
On more than one occasion, the macro freezed. I couldn't find the reason why it happened, but I suspect it depends on processor overheating. In fact, whenever a macro is executed, the CPU works all the time (CPU usage= 100%). This is not a usual condition, although the same happens with other programs, such as Windows defrag utility (this is another case when the runtime may be long).
So I have assumed that these macros are a sort of endurance test for the computer.
And now, my question:
Can you envisage a way to write a macro encorporating the following logic:
Read CPU temperature (T)
If T > 60 ° Celsius then pause until T <= 60 ° Celsius
(60 is an arbitrary value)
In other terms, the macro is supposed to take a break whenever the CPU becomes too hot.
This requires an utility such as MBM 5 (freeware) that reads CPU temperature.
Am I asking the moon? Has somebody faced with this problem?
I have already considered improving ventilation inside my PC, but this is note something that can be easily accomplished on my laptop.
TIA
