Instantaneous Sensors

Instantaneous Sensors

  1. What Are Instantaneous Sensors 
    1. Instantaneous sensors are devices tracing measurement over time, providing trends and the ability to set upper and lower thresholds of expected readings. Values outside of these thresholds can be set to alert the user.
      1. State sensors on the other hand have 2, or possibly 3 readings. For example, door open/closed. Smoke sensor Triggered/Safe

  2. Sensor Data 
    1. Collapsed View (Default)
      This is a quick summary view of every sensor, for the period being viewed.
      1. Measurement Point
        The specific sensor name
      2. Last Reading
        The latest reading received from the device with reading date and time. 
      3. High
        The Highest reading recorded for the selected period, with reading date and time. 
      4. Low
        The Lowest reading recorded for the selected period, with reading date and time. 
      5. Last 50 Readings
        A quick trend line for the last 50 readings recorded. Readings outside of the set thresholds will be marked in red. 
      6. Breach Count
        The number of instances that the device readings were outside of the set thresholds. 



    2. Expanded View 
      When further investigation into a specific sensor is required, clicking on the "+" in the coloured block on the left hand side of the row will expand the row to provide more detailed data. 
      This view gives all the information available in the Collapsed View, plus these additional readings: 
      1. Top line Readings
        Where applicable, these readings have a bar chart indicating the thresholds that have been set for this sensor, and where the actual reading is in relation to the thresholds. 
        1. Average
          Average of the readings           for the selected period. 
        2. In Range
          Time, and percentage of total time that the sensor was withing the thresholds that have been set. 
        3. Out of Range
          Time, and percentage of total time that the sensor was outside the thresholds that have been set. 
        4. Last Breach
          Date and Time of the last breached reading that was received. 
        5. Longest Breach
          Longest continuous period that the sensor reading was outside the thresholds that have been set 

      2. Compliance Bar Chart 
        This bar chart provides a timeline of compliance, indicating green where the sensor readings was within the thresholds that have been set, and red where the readings where outside the thresholds. 

      3. Trend Chart
         This chart maps out all readings, providing a trend for the selected period.
