function Start-DbaPfDataCollectorSet {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Starts Performance Monitor Data Collector Set.
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            Starts Performance Monitor Data Collector Set.
 
        .PARAMETER ComputerName
            The target computer. Defaults to localhost.
 
        .PARAMETER Credential
            Allows you to login to $ComputerName using alternative credentials. To use:
 
            $cred = Get-Credential, then pass $cred object to the -Credential parameter.
 
        .PARAMETER CollectorSet
            The name of the Collector Set to start.
     
        .PARAMETER NoWait
            If this switch is enabled, the collector is started and the results are returned immediately.
     
        .PARAMETER InputObject
            Accepts the object output by Get-DbaPfDataCollectorSet via the pipeline.
 
        .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.
