A percentage counter that displays the active time of one or more components as a percentage of the total time of the sample interval. Because the numerator records the active time of components operating simultaneously, the resulting percentage can exceed 100 percent.
Syntax
Remarks
This counter is a multitimer. Multitimers collect data from more than one instance of a component, such as a processor or disk. This counter type differs from CounterMultiTimer100Ns in that it measures time in units of ticks of the system performance timer, rather than in 100 nanosecond units.
Formula: ((N - N ) / (D - D )) x 100 / B, where N and N are performance counter readings, D and D are their corresponding time readings in ticks of the system performance timer, and the variable B denotes the base count for the monitored components (using a base counter of type CounterMultiBase). Thus, the numerator represents the portions of the sample interval during which the monitored components were active, and the denominator represents the total elapsed time of the sample interval.
