Sum and accumulating total

• Sum

This value is computed by summing the data over an hour for hourly reports, over a

day for daily reports, over a week for weekly reports, and over a month for monthly reports. It is reset at the time when the corresponding report is generated.

• Accumulating total

Accumulating total can be specied only on hourly and daily reports.

For hourly reports, this value is computed by summing the data until the time the

report is generated (the report creation time set for daily reports). It is reset every day at the report creation time set for daily reports (the value is the same as the sum of the daily report).

For daily reports, this value is computed by summing the data

the report is generated (the report creation date and time set for monthly reports). It is reset every month at the report creation date and time set for monthly reports (the value is the same as the sum of the monthly report).

until the date and time

Configuring the DAQLOGGER

The following example shows the accumulating total for hourly

reports. The time

when the daily report is generated is 8 O’clock.

About the sum unit

In the sum computation, data are summed over the scan interval. However, for flow values that have units /s, /min, /h, or /day a simple summation results in the actual value not matching the computed result, because the scan interval and the unit of the input values are different. In these cases, the unit of the data measured over the scan interval is converted to match the unit of the input values and the computation is performed. For example, if the scan interval is 2 s, and the input value is 100 m summation would add 100 every 2 s resulting in 3000 after one minute. However, if the sum unit is set to /min, then 2s/60s is multiplied every scan interval before the value is added giving a result that is close to the actual input value. The scan interval unit is in seconds.

Sum Unit Conversion

Off ∑(measured/computed value) /s ∑(measured/computed value) × data acquiring interval* /min ∑(measured/computed value) × data acquiring interval*/60 /h ∑(measured/computed value) × data acquiring interval*/3600 /day ∑(measured/computed value) × data acquiring interval*/86400
