When you have a good graph showing the voltage level & current drawn, and you know the pack size/ cell count, you can work out A) the voltage per cell at any given time ( total voltage / cell count = voltage per cell ) and B) what the C rating is based on the amount of current drawn divided by the rated mah capacity of the pack ( say 100amps / 5amps ( 5000mah ) = 20c @ whatever voltage level per cell, obviously above ~3.2v ideally in order for the C rating on the packs label to be concidered at all accurate ).
You can also use the maximum ( current draw ) & minimum ( voltage ) figures provided by the 'dashboard' display of the Eagletree unit to get a snapshot of how the pack performs- with the displayed values you get a worst-case scenareo of how the pack performs; usually these numbers are generated from bursts/ peaks, and can sometimes be a little misleading ( warm packs perform better than cold ones for example ), but are generally pretty sound.

Sorry my english is not well and couldn't understand second paragraph. Can you please explain it more simple. BTW I know what C raiting is.
