Overview: Data Charting
Charts in EnergyCAP provide a visual representation of interval (time-series) data associated with the organization's meters.
There are two types of charts available in EnergyCAP Enterprise:
-
Time Series Chart
-
Scatter Chart
Data Charting includes the following functions:
-
Split a series into even sections which are overlaid on top of each other. For example, energy consumption for a factory that operates on three 8-hour shifts can have the three shifts overlaid one on the other.
-
Aggregate any like series of data and display it on the chart.
-
Profile a stream of data by providing the maximum, minimum, and/or average of all values.
-
Realign the starting point of a meter’s interval data when data streams from multiple meters do not exactly match with an exact time stamp. This function can also be used to see the effect of shifting a load to a different time period.
The Data Charting workspace displays charts in two views:
-
A 2-D or 3-D graphical representation that can be copied or saved as a bitmap file (.bmp), an image file format common in the Windows environment. The .bmp file format is supported by image processing applications such as Microsoft® Paint, and Adobe® Photoshop®. Files of this format can also be imported into most word processing and presentation applications, including Microsoft® Word and Microsoft® PowerPoint.
-
Numerical data presented in a cell/grid format that can be copied (Ctrl-C) and pasted (Ctrl-V) or exported (File/Export) and imported into a spreadsheet application, such as Microsoft® Excel.
