Performance data collection settings enable you to modify the settings of the output screen. It also
enables you to modify the time interval for data collection.

Splits the data according to the time intervals (in hours) and stores
them in different .csv files. This is used when large amount of data
is collected.
For example: If you have selected the Data Split Time as 1 and
the Data Collection Time Limit as 12, P9000Watch will create 12
new files, each containing performance data for an hour’s time.
NOTE:
The data splitting activity is performed for the duration set in
the Data Collection Time Limit.
In the Interactive mode, if you enter a value greater than 24
hours, then the .csv files might grow to a large size. So,
preferably the value of the Data Split Time should be given
as 1 hour.
