Ooops...I've been working with hourly graphs too much lately. ;-)

You're right - it should be a factor of 300, NOT 3600.

Since you've defined your DS as a COUNTER, it will store the difference
between this reading and the previous one which may give you a very small
number. So instead of storing the value you want, its storing the delta. Try
defing it as an ABSOLUTE and see what happens.
