ComputerCraft & ReactorCraft: monitor RF/t

Hey

I have succesfully built a Reactorcraft Fusion Reactor.
My question now, is as follows: using ComputerCraft (and any mod you deem necessary for this), how can I accurately monitor the amount of RF/t that goes out of this monstrosity?

Thanks in advance!

well, if it produces rf then you could just setup an ender io power monitor which can output a redstone signal when below a certain level and stop outputting it when above a certain level :P/>

thanks for your reply. :)/>

What I really want though, is a screen where I can put all kinds of information on.
So I know there are a lot of meters out there, and there's the power monitor, but for the past week I've been searching for a way to display the RF/t that comes out of a ReC Fusion Reactor.

Got any suggestions? :)/>

I suggest wrapping various things as peripherals and listing the methods available.

if the mod is for 1.7.10, throw me a link, and i'll be able to help you with the program.

have made a ton of these, as i "forget" to save them, each time i start a new world,
Usually i make them for big reactors, Mekanism, IC2 Immersive engineering..
So another Reactor program, shouldnt be to hard to make with you :)/>

And i learn how the methods of that mod works :D/>

Well, here's a link to ReactorCraft's website, downloads and everything.
Takes a while to build the whole fusion reactor though.
Eventually, the point where all the RF comes out, is the Turbine Generator.

Apart from connecting an EnderIO capacitorbank to between the generator and the computercraft computer, I don't know of any way to accurately measure how much RF/t is going out of this generator.
And even with an enderIO capacitor bank, I'm only able - with my limited knowledge of computercraft lua - to determine the total amount of rf in the capacitorbank,not the RF/t going through it, and I know this method isn't even close to a real representation of the actual power that goes out of the generator…

I don't mean to double post, but I just wanted to say I made some progress (didn't get what I want though).
Using an OpenPeripherals Peripheral Proxy, I managed to get a whole lot of data, such as the data going through an Insulated Superconducting Wire (ElectriCraft); I managed to get the same data out of the Dynamometer onto ComputerCraft's Monitor,…
However, the only thing I'm still not capable to do, is to get the RF/t out of the Turbine Generator.
In all of 1.7.10, I haven't come across a single block that actually utilizes a method resembling RF/t (maybe I haven't looked far enough?)
The problem with ReactorCraft is that the power output is sooooo immense, it's hard to capture. Can't simply hook it up to a Resonant Energy Cell for example, because 25000RF/t isn't even close to what it's producing…
