WMI Wizard - Output Tab

Sample Value - this area displays a sample of data for the selected WMI property using your local system. On some systems, WMI data may be slow to retrieve. While information is being gathered, a sample value of three periods ( . . . ) is displayed. Where there is more than one subset of information, the first item in the collection is used to display sample data. See WMI Wizard Notes for additional information on the display of sample data.

Show Sample data - deselecting this option will keep ASE from trying to provide a sample value in the space above. For example, if you are working with WMI data that queries drives the floppy may be accessed when trying to collect data. In this case, disabling the collection of sample data may be preferable.
