Time View application focuses you to the site in context (i.e., the one from the dashboard). However, the Other Sites option lets you look at other sites in the account as well, if it is included in your scope.

For sites with generation assets, when presenting Site-Total, the graph displays two total branches: Total Consumption shows the total consumption registered by all devices, and Total Generation shows the total energy generated by all generating devices

The Filter pane on the left allows you to select up to 100 devices for display. The device consumption data is displayed graphically in the right pane.

In Group By, select how you want to organize the devices in the tree view. The top-most level of the tree view is always a site. The devices within that site are grouped by one of the following options:

The Time View application allows you to perform a top down analysis of a site's consumption over time. By selecting any parent element on the tree-view filter, e.g., selection of the site, or of a device category, the chart shows you the total power, energy or cost of that device category. You can then drill down by selecting all child elements of that element (e.g., select all device types of the category).

Using this method, when looking at the peak consumption of a site, you can easily find the device categories that consumed the majority of power during that time, then drill down to the device types that consumed the majority of power on that category, and eventually drill down to the specific devices that drove the peak consumption.

Energy Time View Details

When Grouping By	Notes
Measurement Type	All new external pulse meters that were entered in the Meters & Loggers setup will be added here (sites that have Electricity, Gas, Heat, Air and Water meter types). Applies only to Air, Water, Gas and Heat, with these meters presented in a flat hierarchy in the tree view. Gas and Heat meters are viewable on the graph as Energy (either Energy(kWh)), Water and Air meters are viewable on the graph as Flow or Volume (Graph Units depending on the meters settings in the Meters & Loggers setup). The Normalization fields that were entered in the Meters & Loggers setup change the calculation from velocity (for example) to energy for Gas meters.
Device Type	The highest level corresponds to sites.  The second level corresponds to the device category – machinery, lightning, etc.  The third level corresponds to the specific device type. For example, under the machinery category you may have fans, conveyors and pumps. The next level represents the individual device – for example, a specific pump or a specific fan.
Zone > Panel	The highest level corresponds to sites.  The second level corresponds to the zones included in the site. For example, a zone may represent a building in a campus or a floor in a commercial building.  The third level corresponds to electrical panels within each zone. The next level represents the individual device – for example, a specific pump or a specific fan within that panel.
Groups	The highest level corresponds to sites.  The second level corresponds with the Group type. Each entry under the Group type corresponds with a defined Group. Right-clicking a Group will provide more options on expanding and presenting the devices composing it. When grouping by Groups: You can create new Groups or edit existing ones. The devices are not displayed by default; you will need to right-click to show the devices.
Electrical Hierarchy	The tree view shows the hierarchy of electrical panels in an installation - where a main panel supplies power to a secondary panel, a secondary panel to a third and so forth.  Each entry under a site corresponds to a main panel feeding the ones located under it.
Alphabetically	The tree view has only one level containing all devices sorted alphabetically per site.
Sensor Type	The tree view follows the site, sensor type, and device hierarchy.

Device Selection in Legend Box & Show By

Use the legend box on the right to show or hide the graph relating to it.

Click an active element to hide its graph; click it again to restore it.

You can display the chart by different measures such as power, energy, current or calculated cost. Open the Show By drop-down list and select the measure you want to see.

PAN-42

Unlike most sensors (PAN-10, PAN-12, PAN-14) that measure electrical current, the PAN-42 sensor measures many more parameters such as voltage, power factor, reactive power and frequency. A device monitored by PAN-42 is identified in the device tree with a special graphical tag as shown in the first image.

When selecting such a device, you can chart additional measurement types as well, illustrated in the second image.

Consumption Charts for Flow Meters

 

Flow Meters

Unlike Electricity sensors or meters, Flow meters such as (Gas, Compressed Air and Water) monitor flow and volume. When selecting such a meter additional measurement types will be displayed.

Period

Open the Period drop-down list and select the period you want to examine. The options are:

• Select a ready-made period like Daily or Weekly.
• Click the arrows at the sides of the date to move the date by whole periods. For example, if you select Monthly, each click moves the period by one month back and forth.
• To go to a Specific Date, click the Select chart date button, and pick the year, month and day you want. If you select the Weekly period, picking a day shifts the display to the week that includes it.
• Clicking a data point along the X-axis moves the period selection to the lower level. For example, in the Yearly period, click a month to move to the Monthly period, and so on down to the hourly level. Use the Back button located in the upper left hand corner of the chart area to return to the previous period specification.

Additional Energy Time View Details

Overlay Previous

Use the Overlay Previous option to add a chart that shows the consumption in the previous period. For example, under the Monthly option, you can see the consumption in the previous x months (select the number). Under the Daily option, you can also select to display the consumption on the same day as the current day in previous periods; for example, 3 Mondays back, illustrated in the first image.

Select Stacked Type

To show a stacked chart, click the Select stacked type icon and select Stacked. Where applicable, select the Stacked % option to show the chart in terms of percentages.

Layers

Select the Overlay Button to add more data to the chart. Available layers include:

• Outside Temperature - the external temperature is retrieved automatically from the Internet based on the address configured to the site. A dedicated Y-axis is added to the right of the chart.
• On-off Hours – adds a background representing the site’s on/off hours. On/off hours are defined in the site’s schedule. This overlay is available for the 6 hours, daily and weekly periods only. 
• Sensor Level – adds a chart of the sensor reception strength (in dBm). This overlay is only provided for phase-level selections in the device tree. An RSSI value of less than -70 dBm may indicate an issue with the sensor location relative to the bridge.
• Bulk - shown in yellow dots when enabled and viewing a sensor's current, indicates data that was uploaded by a Bridge when it was offline for a period of time. (shown in the third image)
• Auto Correction – shows in red dots when enabled and viewing a sensor's current, indicates data that had part of its data received and therefore, the system auto corrected based on what was received. This could indicate the Bridge is too far from the sensors or there is RF interference occurring in the area (thick walls blocking the path, other systems operating on the same frequency, too much distance between, etc.)(shown in the third image)

Data Export & Property Viewing Options

Select the Export data to file icon, and then select the format in which you want to export the data. You can export a picture of the graph (.PNG), or numeric data to a comma-separated file (.CSV) that can be read in any text editor or Excel.

The export button is disabled when selecting other sites, and data exports are limited to a maximum range of one year.

Drag the mouse across an area of the chart to zoom in on that specific portion. Zooming does not change the period specification; it only enlarges the graph for better visibility.

Many elements in the device tree (sites, zones, panels, devices) have properties that can be easily viewed or modified. Every user can view the properties and admin users can also modify device properties. Right–click a device or the phase and select Properties.
