Calculation Mode

The following calculations are provided:

Total

Minimum

Maximum

Standard deviation

Range

Average

Count

Mean

All calculation modes are time-weighted except for the

Mean

function,

which is an event-weighted version of the

Average

function.

Calculation Basis

Select either a time- or event-weighted basis for the calculation:

Calculations are time-weighted by default. Each event value is

weighted for purposes of the calculation by the duration of time
over which the event applies.

Event-weighted calculations weigh each event value equally. At

least one event (two for standard deviation calculations) must
exist within a time range for a successful calculation.

Conversion Factor

The conversion factor is used for Total calculations where the time
unit of the point calculated is not the same as the server default time

unit. A conversion factor may be necessary to convert to the units
desired for the calculation from the server default of units per day.
The following table illustrates the use of conversion factors for points
using different units of flow. Note that a conversion factor of one

means that the conversion factor is not needed, and that units cannot
be specified.
