Using the AverageTimer32 performance counter

Hi!
I have implemented the AverageTimer32 (and AverageBase) counter(s) in order to monitor the average time for an operation. I'm pretty sure I have implemented it the way it's ment (i've read lots of examples) etc...

But what I don't like is the fact that perfmon shows the value of the counter as 0 (zero) except for a very short period of time, just when the counter is modified. This is not what I had expected. If I complete two operations, one takes 3 seconds and the other takes 5 seconds, I would expect the counter to stay on 4 (seconds) until the next time it's updated or resetted.

So, I would like to know if there is a simple way to achieve this behaviour? Otherwise I guess I'll have to do the average calculation on my own and use a regular (NumberOfItems32) counter or something like that...

Any advises would be mostly appreciated!

Regards
Andreas

Andreas,

Are you still having this problem? If so, can you post the code you're using to calculate the values?

Thanks,
Jon
