Using this example, I can watch the changes in a named counter as various of my pages are visited - sort of a realtime monitor of the number of visits to any pages tracked with this named counter.

Use the "Watch Counters" button to open a sort of "floating toolbar" monitor window. NOTE: the count will show -1 at first, but will reflect the actual counter value as soon as the left frame is loaded.

To force the counter to increment, simply reload this page.

NOTE: the update frequency in this example is about 5 seconds - i.e. the counter is queried once every 5 seconds.
