Scaling the performance data chart display
Overview
You can manually adjust the scale for each counter so that the graph allows meaningful comparisons of different counters. Follow these steps to manually adjust the scale:- Double-click the Scale column for the counter that you want
to modify.
- Type the desired value in the field for the Scale value.
The View Chart display immediately reflects the change in the scaling factor.
Results
The possible values for the Scale field range from 0 to 100 and show the following relationships:
- A value equal to 1 indicates that the value is the actual value.
- A value greater than 1 indicates that the variable value is amplified
by the factor shown. For example, a scale setting of 1.5 means that the variable
is graphed as one and one-half times its actual value.
- A value less than 1 indicates that the variable value is decreased by the factor shown. For example, a scale setting of .5 means that the variable is graphed as one-half its actual value.
Scaling only applies to the graphed values.
