Windows NT
• Raw byte input and output counts obtained from the driver
• Port errors
The available statistics include:
• Instantaneous characters per second (CPS) calculations
• Minute, hour, and day CPS averages and peaks
• Carrier detect (CD) signal runtime and transition count
Reports can be automatically generated on an hourly and/or daily
basis, and can cover all ports collectively or a separate report for each
port. You can also set how often the values are recalculated, fine-tuning

external batch files to perform additional processing and analysis.

at which point all accumulated data is automatically saved for use in
the next session.
