The following screen shot shows examples of two of the
windows provided by PSConfig, displaying information about
hardware performance events on a particular machine that
are available for measurement as well as general information about
the machine itself. Also shown are two "tear-off"
menus that can be placed directly on your desktop while
you are working in the PSConfig main windows.
Example PSConfig display, showing a hardware
performance event selection list in the left window and machine
