    '        during each second of the sample interval. Counters of this type
    '        measure time in ticks of the system clock. The F variable represents
    '        the number of ticks per second. The value of F is factored into the
    '        equation so that the result can be displayed in seconds.
    '
    '    Generic type - Difference

    '    Formula - (N1 - N0) / ( (D1 - D0) / F), where the numerator (N) represents the number
    '        of operations performed during the last sample interval, the denominator
    '        (D) represents the number of ticks elapsed during the last sample
    '        interval, and F is the frequency of the ticks.
