Numbers

These options decide what DU Meter's numbers show, wherever they are: in the DU Meter window, on the taskbar, floating, or in the Windows 10 taskbar band, and the units of every figure DU Meter shows.

What the numbers show

Speed, averaged over a number of seconds: the download and upload speeds. This is the default.

Received and sent this billing period, or Cost this billing period: what has been transferred, or what it has cost, since the period began. These need a billing period, set up with data transfer costs.

Show the usage card when pointing at the numbers: the card shows today's and this month's usage and, with a data limit alert set, how much of the limit is used. Out of the graph window it also lists the programs using the network. A click on the numbers always shows it.

Keep the numbers clear of the taskbar's buttons: numbers on the taskbar move aside when its buttons need the room, and go back to where you put them once the room is free again. When the taskbar has no room for them at all, they wait just beside it. Turn this off to have the numbers stay exactly where you put them, even over buttons, or if they behave oddly on your taskbar.

Units

Speeds in: bytes per second (KB/s), handy for comparing with the size of a file, or bits per second (kbps), the unit connection speeds are sold in.

Sizes as: KB, MB, the abbreviations most people know, or KiB, MiB, as the IEC 60027-2 standard writes multiples of 1024. See Units of measurement in DU Meter.
