function Get-DbaPfCounterSample {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Gets Performance Counter Samples
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            Gets Performance Counter Samples
 
        .PARAMETER ComputerName
            The target computer. Defaults to localhost.
 
        .PARAMETER Credential
            Allows you to login to $ComputerName using alternative credentials.
 
        .PARAMETER CollectorSet
            The Collector Set name
 
        .PARAMETER Collector
            The Collector name
 
        .PARAMETER Counter
            The Counter name - in the form of '\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time'
 
        .PARAMETER Continuous
        Gets samples continuously until you press CTRL+C. By default, this command gets only one counter sample. You can use the SampleInterval parameter to set the interval for continuous sampling.
 
        .PARAMETER ListSet
        Gets the specified performance counter sets on the computers. Enter the names of the counter sets. Wildcards are permitted.
 
        .PARAMETER MaxSamples
        Specifies the number of samples to get from each counter. The default is 1 sample. To get samples continuously (no maximum sample size), use the Continuous parameter.
 
        To collect a very large data set, consider running a Get-DbaPfCounterSample command as a Windows PowerShell background job.
 
        .PARAMETER SampleInterval
        Specifies the time between samples in seconds. The minimum value and the default value are 1 second.
 
        .PARAMETER InputObject
            Enables piped results from Get-DbaPfCounter
 
        .PARAMETER EnableException
            By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
            This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
            Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.
