Using the Performance Monitoring Screen
8.1.5 Using the Baseline Button
In Software R3.0 and higher, the Baseline button located on the far right of the screen clears the PM
count displayed in the Current column, but does not clear the PM count on the card. When the current
15-minute or 24-hour time interval expires or the screen view changes, the total number of PM count s
on the card and on the screen appear in the appropriate column.
The baseline values are discarded if you change views to a different screen and then return to th e
Performance Monitoring screen. The Baseline button enables you to easil y s ee how quickly PM counts
are rising without having to perform calculations. Figure 8-5 shows the Baseline button on the
Performance Monitoring screen.
