Sensor Tracing
The report can include all messages or take a value in a time interval (like take a value every 10
minutes). One or the other alternative is chosen when configuring report
template. If tracing interval is indicated, the system will search and
display sensor value from the message which is the closest to the
necessary point in time.
Available columns:
- Speed — unit's speed from the message from which the value was taken.
- Coordinates — unit's coordinates from the message.
- Location — unit's location at the moment of sending the message with the sensor's value.
- Sensor — sensor name.
- Time — the time of the message from which the value was taken.
- Value — the value (numbers only).
- Formatted value — the value based on the indicated units of measurement or the value of the text sensor.
- Driver — driver's name if available.
- Trailer — trailer's name if any was bound.
- Notes — an empty column for custom notes.
Activate the appropriate checkbox to get a separate column for each
sensor. This option is available only in reports for single units, not
for unit groups. If you choose this option, the columns Values or/and Formatted value will be generated for each sensor individually. This allows exporting
sensor values to MS Excel and eventually building various charts and
diagrams on this basis.
If you activate the options Each sensor in separate column and Skip invalid values simultaneously, only the lines that have at least one sensor's value
will be shown in the generated report. The lines without any sensor's
value will not be shown. A name of a column containing formatted values
is marked by a special symbol (*). Formatted value fields may contain
textual information (in brackets) indicated for value intervals.
In addition, you can choose a driver/trailer and geofences/units to be controlled (see intervals filtration for details).
Invalid Values
If a received value is out of range (the bounds are indicated in sensor
properties), then there will be a dash (« —– ») in the lines with the
sensor's values. To exclude such rows, flag the option 'Skip invalid values' in the report template.
The cases when a sensor sends text values (as opposed to numeric) or no values at all are also considered invalid.
