■ Selecting the date range from a Calendar.
■ Scrolling forward or back in time.
■ Zooming in on an area of a chart.
To select a time interval
1 In the selector pane, select a time interval from the Time menu.
2 To chart the selected computers for a customized period of time, choose Calendar
from the menu. For more information, refer to “Selecting a time interval with the
calendar” on page 81.
3 To scroll forward or back in time, click the appropriate scroll icons. For more
information, refer to “Scrolling forward or back in time” on page 82.
Table 7 lists the time intervals that are available in Perceive.
NOTE
When a Perceive system starts, the default time interval is Yesterday, unless a user
configured another time interval to override the default.
