function Get-DbaPfDataCollectorCounterSample {
    <#
    .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 servers using alternative credentials. To use:
 
        $scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -Credential parameter.
 
    .PARAMETER CollectorSet
        The Collector Set name.
 
    .PARAMETER Collector
        The Collector name.
 
    .PARAMETER Counter
        The Counter name. This must be in the form of '\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time'.
 
    .PARAMETER Continuous
        If this switch is enabled, samples will be retrieved 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-DbaPfDataCollectorCounterSample 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
        Accepts the object output by Get-DbaPfDataCollectorCounter 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.
