_Above: example observations within a two sampling periods for a MC configuration state_
_Above: example observations within a four sampling periods for a MC configuration state_
In the example provided above a MC moves through several states, finishing in a stopped state. During each sampling period, the total time in observed states is measured and for those that are _completed states_ a sum of all the time and the average time for that state is recorded. For any state that has not been observed during the sample period, the sum and average values will be recorded as zero. For a state that has not yet completed, this state will be considered as the 'current state' and the length of time in this state increases and does so continuously, over multiple sample periods if necessary, until it exits. Finally, if a state completes directly after sample period [1] ends and a new state begins before the start of the next sample period [2], then the previous current state from period [1] should be recorded as _completed_ as part period [2]'s report.
