About the Baseline Period
Baseline Period is the set of data values, within the trended log, by which all the rest of the data is compared. This allows you to compare a data value against itself at another period of time (i.e., Main kWh for last week vs. Main kWh for the same week in the previous year). You can select a predefined start date from the Period list (Custom Period, Same Start Date, 1 Week Prior, 1 Month Prior, or 1 Year Prior) then select how many days worth of original data are in the baseline period. The software takes that defined number of days and repeats the baseline period for the entire charted time.
The following procedure describes how to set the baseline parameters for reports that allow detailed baseline parameters.
Setting the Baseline Parameters.
- Once you have selected points to be charted, along with a date range, click Show Details to define the baseline parameters.
- From the data point list, select the point that you wish to use as a baseline.
- Define the baseline period by selecting a common period from the Period list or by manually defining the baseline period, as shown in Figure 3-46.
Figure 3-46 Selecting the Baseline Point.
- Select a color for the baseline trend from the Baseline Color list and choose a Display option to complete the Baseline Period setup as shown in Figure 3-47 and described in the following paragraphs:
Figure 3-47 Data Sources Display Colors.
- Display Baseline and Original
displays a data plot that represents the data point baseline parameter selections and an additional plot for the full range of your original data point.
- Display Baseline (Hide Original)
plots your baseline data only. This data is from the data source that you selected.
- Click Run Report to create the report.
