'SigStrength determines the Signalstrength of a WLAN-Connection via WMI. It returns a negative number which decreases with loss of
'Signalstrength. i.e. -50 is better than -80. The corresponding WMI-function is not included in the WMI-Meters of Samurize.

'SSID determines the Service Identifier Set (or "WLAN-Name") of the WLAN you are connected to via WMI.
'The correspinding WMI-function is not included in the WMI-Meters of Samurize.

'SigStrengthBar simulates the original display of the Windows XP Wireless Network Status Display with only 5 possible signal 
'strengths. The values that determine the display were gathered by simple trial and may vary a little bit from the display Windows
'provides, although I don't think they do.

'SigStrengthPercent returns a percentage of the maximal reachable signalstrength. The Constant "maxstrength" was gathered by 
'trial in a distance of 20cm from my receiver and can be changed by changing the value of the constant "maxstrength".
 
'The value for your system can be determined with the function "SigStrength". 
'Start the Config-Tool and insert a textmeter with the function "Sigstrength". Change the place of your system in relation
'to your Access-Point until you have found the maximum value of SigStrenth (this would be the lowest negative number,
'as described in the description of SigStrength). Take the maximum value of Sigstrenth and edit "maxstrength" to that value.
'From now on, SigStrengthPercent returns an accurate percentage for your system.


' Hope that helps
