Timings for the current test are displayed on the Timing tab each time they are calculated and the most recent calculation can optionally be written to a timings file. See UNICOM Intelligence Load Tool global settings to set the calculation frequency, and General tab to write timings to a file.

The Pause button suspends the automatic update of the Timing tab, allowing you to scroll through the current display without changing anything. The test continues running and, if appropriate, writing to the timing file. When you click Pause again, the Timing tab is updated with any new timings that were generated while display updating was suspended.

The table starts with a Total row showing summary information for the test as a whole. This is followed by one row for every question in the questionnaire.

You can sort these columns so, for example, you can sort the Average column in descending order to see which pages are taking the longest to load.

If you write timings to a file, the file contains a single line containing this information in tab-separated fields. The line starts with a timestamp showing the time at which the timings were written.

The tab might display timing information for both phone and web tests.
