ABSTRACT:
An improved data collection method and apparatus wherein the data is accumulated in groups of storage means as the data is generated, and the data in each group of storage means is transferred to another store at a rate that is determined at least in part by the rate at which data was accumulated. In the event that data is generated faster than it is being transferred, data is not lost but data granularity is reduced. After being transferred to another store, the data is available for statistical analysis by application programs.
