# Annotation Interface DataAmount

@Retention(RUNTIME) @Target({FIELD,TYPE,METHOD}) public @interface DataAmount
Event field annotation, specifies that a value represents an amount of data (for example, bytes).

The following example shows how the `DataAmount` annotation can be used to set the units `BITS` and `BYTES` to event fields.

    @Name("com.example.ImageRender")
    @Label("Image Render")
    public class ImageRender extends Event {
        @Label("Height")
        long height;

        @Label("Width")
        long width;

        @Label("Color Depth")
        @DataAmount(DataAmount.BITS)
        int colorDepth;

        @Label("Memory Size")
        @DataAmount // bytes by default
        long memorySize;
    }
