Reset throughput of a processor to zero during the run

After throughput in a processor reaches to a certain value, say 1000, I want to reset the throughput value to zero and record the profile w.r.t. time again. How can I do that?

When it comes to recording data, we usually avoid resetting the original value on the object. It tends to cause pain down the road. Instead, we basically make a copy, increment it whenever the throughput should increment, and then reset that value.

From your question, it sounds like you want a chart like this:

You can see that once the throughput gets to the limit (100 in this case) then counting starts back at one. I did this with a statistics collector, that listens for objects leaving the processors. It remembers how many times that event has fired, and keeps a count for each processor (on a row label). If that count gets above the threshold, it gets set back to one.
