er_label Examples

Example 8-1  Defining a label with time markers relative to the beginning of the experiment

To define a label named snap in the experiment test.1.er that covers the part of a run from 15 seconds after the start of the experiment for a duration of 10 minutes, use the following command:

% er_label -o test.1.er -n snap -t start=15 -t stop=10:15

Alternatively, you can specify the markers for the interval in separate commands:

% er_label -o test.1.er -n snap -t start=15
% er_label -o test.1.er -n snap -t stop=10:15

Example 8-2  Defining a label with time markers relative to the current time

To define a label named last5mins in the experiment test.1.er that covers the part of a run from 5 minutes ago to the current time:

% er_label -o test.1.er -n last5mins -t start=@-05:00 -t stop
