Generating Plots
The LIST PLOT command in Example 4-5 generates a two-axis plot of CPU-BUSY-
TIME for 12 CPUs. The measurement ran from 11:20 a.m. to 1:20 p.m. A 30-minute
interval was used to collect the data. The alphabetic (plot) characters on the plot
correspond to the CPUs listed in the key below the plot. Each plot character represents
the value of a CPU-BUSY-TIME counter at the time shown on the vertical axis.
Example 4-6 on page 4-17 shows how to use the INTERVAL attribute of the LIST
PLOT command to divide the measurement data into different time intervals for plotting
(1-hour intervals in the figure). The INTERVAL specified in the LIST PLOT command
must be equal to or greater than the collection interval used to collect the data, and it
should be a multiple of the collection interval. When you specify an INTERVAL smaller
than the collection interval, the plot is blank.
