Using the Signal Generator Performance DLL 
 
Overview: 
 
The Signal Generator performance DLL provides 3 waveforms at 5 
different periods for use with the Performance Monitor to provide 
data at a known rate and value. This can be useful in testing 
applications that use performance data and need predictable values to 
test against. 
 
 
Building and Installing: 
 
The DLL must be built from the source code using the Windows NT build 
Utilities and then installed on the target system using the following 
steps: 
 
    1. Copy the PerfGen.DLL that was built to the %systemroot%\system32  
    directory. 
 
    2. load the driver entries into the registry using the following 
    command line: 
 
        REGEDIT PERFGEN.REG 
 
    3. load the performance names into the registry using the command 
    line: 
 
        LODCTR PERFGEN.INI 
 
At this point all the software is installed and it ready to use. 
Start Perfmon and select the "Signal Generator" object to select the 
desired wave form and period. 
 
NOTE: The system may need to be restarted after these instructions  
are completed for this object to be seen by remote computers.
