Trouble understanding iStat Pro

[theboycalledben]

Hi!
Ummm...excuse my ignorance but i just got broadband, i've got a 1GB cap, so i downloaded IstatPro to monitor my usage. Just wondering, how do i view my TOTAL data use? It shows time, in, out etc. but i'm not sure how to just see the total usage up to now...

I use the iStat Menus not the pro with it you can see the total in/out bandwith (the numbers beside the speed indicators) in the drop down display for the network connection, perhaps it is similar with the pro.
