Display

• Lines: solid lines show W and dashed lines show VA. Grid W, Load W and PV W have a shaded area.
• Colours: the grid is pink or red, the generator is beige, the load is blue, the PV is green and the battery is yellow.
• SOC line: Storage % shows the battery state of charge as a thick yellow line, on a scale from 0 to 100 %.
• Axes: the time axis shows the time of day at the plant. If the largest value is above 1000, the power axis shows the values in thousands, without a unit.
• Tooltip: shows the time and each line with its value in kW, kVA or %, the highest first. The chart has no legend.
• Date picker: the arrows move one day back or forward, and a click on the date opens a calendar. You cannot pick a future date.
• Dashboard date control: the chart follows the date in the Dashboard top bar.
• Download icon: saves the data as an Excel file with the name of the tile. The file has the columns Date, Time, Device and Power. The Device column gives the line name with its unit, for example Grid W or Load VA.
• Hand icon: starts select mode. Drag across the chart to see the Maximum, Minimum and Average of each line. A narrow tile hides this icon.
• Magnifier icon: turns zoom on or off. The mouse wheel zooms the time axis, and the slider below the chart moves it.
• No data: if the day has no readings, the chart shows No Data For Selected Date.
