# PIXReportCounter

> PIXReportCounter

Displays a user-defined counter in the PIX **System Monitor** view.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
void PIXReportCounter(  
         PCWSTR name,  
         float value  
)  
```

### Parameters

*name*   \_In\_\
Type: PCWSTR

The name to display as a string.

*value*   \
Type: float

The value to display. This could be a duration, percentage, count, or float value. Consider mapping values to the range 0 to 100, as this range is the clearest in the PIX UI.

### Return value

Type: void

## Remarks

`PIXReportCounter` can be used to track an aspect of a game over time. During runtime, each time a function with the same *name* in called, the *value* parameter is plotted to create a timeline graph in the PIX **System Monitor** view. This can be used to track things like enemies on screen, objects in view, or anything else that might effect the performance of a capture.

## Requirements

**Header:** pix3.h

**Library:** pixevt.lib

**Supported platforms:** XBOX One family consoles and XBOX Series consoles
