Generate Predefined Graphs

You can generate predefined graphs in the following three ways:

• At the DCL level - see the section Generate Graphs from the DCL Level
• Within the Performance Manager command mode - see the section Generate Graphs in Command Mode
• Within the DECwindows interface - see the chapter Use the DECwindows Motif Interface

Regardless of the method you use, the basic process is the same. The Performance Manager selects, reads, and buckets the data, then formats and writes the graph to the output device.

Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of ease of use, efficiency, and equipment. This section discusses how to create single and multiple graphs from the DCL level and within the Performance Manager command mode. The DECwindows Motif Interface is discussed in the chapter Use the DECwindows Motif Interface.
