3.1 - Customising Charts
The Charts page displays historical sensor data over a selected period and can compare several sensors on one or more charts.
The page is available to all signed-in users, but each user can only view nodes assigned through their user access settings . When opened, the Charts page displays the last 24 hours of data for the most recently viewed chart.
Select Chart Settings at the top of the page to open the chart configuration panel. From this panel, you can select sensors, set the reporting period, enable zooming, and control how many charts are displayed.
Configure the Chart View
Choose a Node and Sensors
Select a Node containing the sensors you want to plot. The available sensors for that node will then appear below. Use the checkboxes to choose each sensor to display.
Set the Time Period
Enter a custom range using the From and To date and time controls, or use a quick-select button for 1 day, 2 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, or 1 month. A chart can display up to 10,000 records.
Enable and Reset Zoom
Select Enable Zoom to zoom on computers and smartphones.
Pinch on a touchscreen, use the mouse wheel, or left-click and drag across
an area of the chart. After zooming, select the
button to restore the full view.
Control the Number of Charts
Use Max Charts to choose how many charts appear on the page. When more sensors are selected than the maximum number of charts, multiple sensors are plotted together for comparison.
Statistics and Audit Limits
The statistics table at the bottom of the Charts page summarises each selected sensor over the displayed period.
Standard Statistics
Each sensor shows its Current, Minimum, Maximum, Average, and Standard Deviation values.
Audit Report Limits
If a displayed sensor is included in an audit report, its Lower Limit and Upper Limit are also shown in the statistics table.
Data Points and Alert Markers
Standard Data Point
A circular marker represents a normal sensor reading on the chart.
Alert Data Point
A triangular marker indicates that the sensor was in alert when the reading was transmitted, or had entered an alert state at that time.
