49 must be translated. The properties of the counter can be retrieved from\r

65 If StartValue is not NULL, then the value that the performance counter starts\r

67 EndValue is not NULL, then the value that the performance counter end with\r
68 immediately before it rolls over is returned in EndValue. The 64-bit\r
69 frequency of the performance counter in Hz is always returned. If StartValue\r
70 is less than EndValue, then the performance counter counts up. If StartValue\r
71 is greater than EndValue, then the performance counter counts down. For\r
72 example, a 64-bit free running counter that counts up would have a StartValue\r
73 of 0 and an EndValue of 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. A 24-bit free running counter\r
