Trayscout

This lightweight Nightscout client for Windows will display your latest blood glucose value and trend in the system tray. If you click on the icon, a blood glucose diagram will be shown. Multiple styles/schemes are supported to better fit into your artificial pancreas system.

A simple INI file is used for configuration:

• BaseUrl = URL of your Nightscout instance
• APISecret = API secret of your Nightscout instance
• UpdateInterval = Blood glucose update interval in minutes
• High = Upper limit of your normal range (for example 200 or 11.1)
• Low = Lower limit of your normal range (for example 80 or 4.4)
• Unit = Unit to be used (mgdl or mmolL, without /)
• UseColor = Whether to use different colors based on blood glucose value instead of white
• UseAlarm = Whether to play an alarm sound when out of normal range (to use, place your custom Alarm.mp3 in the Trayscout folder)
• AlarmInterval = Alarm interval in minutes
• Style = Diagram style to be used (xDrip, AndroidAPS, Dexcom or Light)
• TimeRange = Time range of diagram in hours (maximum is 6)
• Width = Width of diagram in pixel
• Height = Height of diagram in pixel
• FontFamily = Font family used for axis labels
• FontSize = Font size used for axis labels
