Displaying Interpreted and Uninterpreted Values

You can display interpreted or uninterpreted counter values in reports:

•

Interpreted values are raw counts divided by delta-time per second. Interpreted

values are particularly useful for making relative comparisons of data.

•

Uninterpreted values are actual counts taken during the measurement period.

Uninterpreted values are particularly useful for determining the time needed to run

a process or application, how often an event occurs over the life of a process or

application, and so on.

To display interpreted values, set REPORT RATE ON (the default). To display

uninterpreted values, set REPORT RATE OFF.

Example 4-4

shows uninterpreted counter values displayed for CPU 1 of a TNS VLX

system. Compare this report with the report in Example 4-3

on page 4-8, which shows

interpreted values (for a different measurement).

The REPORT RATE attribute also determines whether plots contain interpreted or

uninterpreted values. For information on creating plots, see Plotting Measurement Data

on page 4-10.
