Measure Reference Manual

hh:mm[:ss]
where
hh is the hour (0 through 23).
mm is minutes (0 through 59).
ss is seconds (0 through 59).
If you omit start-time-of-day, the current time is used.
FOR duration
specifies the duration of the measurement. FOR and TO are mutually exclusive. If you omit
both, you must use the STOP MEASUREMENT command to stop the measurement.
duration
is a time interval in one of these formats:
n SECOND[S]
n MINUTE[S]
n HOUR[S]
where n is an integer in the range 1 through 9999.
TO [ end-date , ] end-time-of-day ]
specifies the stop time of the measurement. TO and FOR are mutually exclusive. If you omit
both, you must use the STOP MEASUREMENT command to stop the measurement.
end-date
is the date the measurement is to stop, in one of these formats:
{ [d]d mmm[ yyyy] }
{ mmm [d]d[ yyyy] }
where
dd is a day of the month, a number in the range 1 through 31.
mmm is the first three letters of the month; for example: JAN, MAR, OCT.
yyyy is the year. Valid years are 1984 through 2047.
If you omit end-date, the current date is used.
end-time-of-day
is the time the measurement is to stop, in the format:
hh:mm[:ss]
where
hh is the hour (0 through 23).
mm is minutes (0 through 59).
ss is seconds (0 through 59).
If you omit end-time-of-day, you must use the STOP MEASUREMENT command to stop
the measurement.
INTERVAL interval
specifies the collection interval—that is, the length of time for which Measure collects data
before writing it to the measurement data file. If you omit INTERVAL, the Measure control
process writes the counter values to the file twice: once when the measurement (or measurement
of a transient entity) begins and once when the measurement (or measurement of a transient
entity) ends.
