Time Interval (secs) Specifies the time interval between data transfers (which happens once every
pass).
First, choose a suitable time interval (for example, 120 seconds; thus, a pass
would be two minutes in length).
Data Transfer Mode Specifies whether the data is saved and sent once, or saved and sent each time
the specified Time Interval elapses.
Send data once, then terminate—The data will be saved and sent once at the
end of the first Time Interval. (This setting is useful if you want the monitor
statistics only for a part of the test.)
Send data continuously—The data will be saved and sent continuously in the
Time Interval specified until the Trend process is done or interrupted.
