Defining Groups for Statistical Reports


The DataWise® software suite software suite provides for statistical reports in tabular form both by pre-defined groups of sensors (e.g., rainfall, water levels, battery voltages, weather stations) and ad hoc by selecting at report generation time the sensor IDs for which to generate a report. To define a group of sensors to produce statistical reports for, select "Reports" and then "Statistical" from the "Configure" drop-down menu. The dialog shown below will be displayed:




Use the "Add Group", "Edit Group", "Delete Group", and "Edit Statistic" buttons along with the "Add Sensor", "Delete Sensor", and "Delete All" buttons to configure statistical groups. Statistics are defined below:

Mnemonic Description
