Parameters

timeRange

Type: OSIsoft.AF.TimeAFTimeRange
The time range over which to compute the summary.

summaryType

Type: OSIsoft.AF.DataAFSummaryTypes
A flag which specifies one or more summaries to compute over the time range.

calcBasis

Type: OSIsoft.AF.DataAFCalculationBasis
Specifies the method of evaluating the data over the time range.

timeType

Type: OSIsoft.AF.DataAFTimestampCalculation
A flag indicating what how to calculate a timestamp for each interval.

Return Value

Count is the only summary type supported on non-numeric attributes. Requesting a summary for any other type will generate an error.

Time-weighted totals are computed by integrating the rate tag values over the requested time range. If some of the data are bad in the time range, the calculated total is divided by the fraction of the time period for which there are good values. Mathematically, this approach is equivalent to assuming that during the period of bad data, the tag takes on the average values for the entire calculation time range. The PercentGood summary can be used to determine if the calculation results are suitable for the application's purposes.

For time-weight totals, if the time unit rate of the attribute cannot be determined, then the value will be totaled assuming a unit of "per day" and no unit of measure will be assigned to the value. If the measured time component of the tag is not based on a day, the user of the data must convert the totalized value to the correct units. For example, if the rate tag was gallons/minute, the conversion can be accomplished using UOMDatabase.UOMs["minute"].Convert(value, UOMDatabase.UOMs["day"].
