Interface Performance Statistics/Bar Graphs
The statistical values (and, where available, the accompanying bar graphs) to the
right of the interface description Þelds provide a quick summary of interface
performance. You can select the statistical value you want to display and the units
in which you want those values displayed by using the two menu Þelds directly
above the interface display area, as follows:
1. In the right-most menu field, click on the down arrow and select the unit in
which you wish to display the selected statistic: Load, Raw Counts, or Rate.
2. Once you have selected the base unit, click on the down arrow in the left-most
field to specify the statistic you’d like to display. Note that the options available
from this menu will vary depending on the base unit you have selected.
NOTE
Bar graphs are only available when Load is the selected base unit; if you select Raw
Counts or Rate, the Bar Graph column will be removed from the interface display.
