You add this chart by dragging the SpectrumChart component from the analytics palette’s Charts folder to the desired Px view in Px editor mode.

When the chart loads a specific pattern emerges based on the arrangement of colors.

Figure 232.   Spectrum Summary chart

This chart plots days (x-axis) against the hours in a day (y-axis). This chart shows values for the entire time range where colored swatches indicate the actual values for a specific time and day during the period. Vertical columns represen each day in the period, and the size of the swatches in a vertical column are based on the configured interval. If the interval is 15 minutes there should be 96 swatches in each vertical column.

Outliers in the data appear as an inconsistent pattern. Passing the cursor over the chart rectangles opens a tool tip that identifies the date the system collected the data. Clicking the wrench icon in the top left opens the settings window shown superimposed on the chart.

This chart is limited to a single binding with a minimum Time Range of 1 Day, a maximum Interval of 1 Day, and a minimum of three data points. To calculate the data points, divide Time Range by Interval. If the quotient is less than three (3) adjust the Time Range or Interval so that the quotient is three or more.
