Data Annotations

Graphical objects can include annotations for data sets. These can be any kind of text or variables for either timestamps or data points. You can configure these properties in the Remarks section of the Datasets tab.

Time-based Variables for Data Annotation

The following variables are supported:

VariableDescriptionExample
${v0} or ${timestamp}Timestamp08.11.2018 12:17:16
${v0 (y)}only year2018
${v0 (M)}year and monthNov 2018
${v0 (d)}full date08.11.2018
${v0 (h)}date and hours08.11.2018 12
${v0 (m)}date, hours and minutes08.11.2018 12:17
${v0 (s)}full timestamp, same as v008.11.2018 12:17:18
${v0 (MM)}only month11
${v0 (dd)}only day of month08
${v0 (HH)}only hours12
${v0 (mm)}only minutes17
${v0 (ss)}only seconds18
${v0 (dd)}/${v0 (MM)}/${v0 (y)} ${v0 (HH)}-${v0 (mm)}-${v0 (ss)}Formatted timestamp08/11/2018 12-17-16

Data Values in Annotations

When using data values in annotations/remarks, please keep in mind that data variables change depending on the projection type used.

Time-based Projection

For datasets with a time-based data source

VariablesDescriptionExample
${v1} or ${value}Value308,258911
${v1 (2)} or ${value (2)}Value rounded to given amount of digits, here 2308,26
${v0 (d)} ${value (2)[m.ü.A]}Formatted timestamp, value and static text08-11-2018 308,26 [m.ü.A]

Parametric Projection

Graphs in which ordinate value 1 is in dependence to value 2, see parametric graph)

ParameterDescriptionExample
${v1} or ${x}Value 14,1234114
${v2} or ${y}Value 210,5678
${v1 (0)} or ${x (0)}Value 1, 0 decimal places4
${v2 (0)} or ${y (0)}Value 2, 0 decimal places10
${v0 (d)} (${x (0)} mm,${y (0)} mm)Formatted timestamp with value pair08-11-2018 (4 mm,10 mm)

Minimum-Maximum Projection

Annotations are displayed on the upper and lower borders (see minimum-maximum projection)

ParameterDescriptionExample
${v1} or ${min}Minimum5,7854
${v2} or ${max}Maximum105,332
${v1 (0)} or ${min (0)}Minimum rounded to 0 decimal places6
${v2 (1)} or ${max (1)}Maximum rounded to 1 decimal place105,3

Interval Projection

See also Interval projection

ParameterDescriptionExample
${v1} or ${min}Minimum5,7854
${v2} or ${mid}Second Parameter (in this case, average)50,198
${v3} or ${max}Maximum105,332
${v1 (0)} or ${min (0)}Minimum rounded to 0 decimal places6
${v2 (1)} or ${mid (1)}Average rounded to 1 decimal places50,2
${v3 (1)} or ${max (1)}Maximum rounded to 1 decimal places105,3

Combining multiple time series

ParameterDescriptionExample
${v2}Value308,258911
${v2 (2)}Value rounded to 2 decimal places308,26
