Hi Lee,
  If you do a "perfly -h" you'll see the options -c, -C, and -H. I
thought these would allow you to test your configuration by doing the
following:

perfly -c 6 -C 0,0,1,1,2,2 -H 60,45,60

  Then you might have to manually resize the channels on each pipe using
ALT-f8. However, when I ran perfly this way, I got 4 channels on the
first pipe and 1 channel on each of the other pipes.
  I'm not sure what the problem is, but I'll bet you could spend a short
time modifying these options in the perfly source code to get your test
working.

pfGurus,

  Can anyone out there please give me some insight.  I'm still trying to
find an example of setting up perfly to use multiple pipes/channels. 
Has anyone been able to do this before?  Do I need to modify the perfly
code or should I be able to configure perfly via command line args.

Any and all help would be appreciated,
Lee
