The Lagged Alternate Estimate uses measurement data acquired from another, similar gas quality (GQ) point to compensate for a gap, or a lag, in the data collection.
The Lagged Alternate Estimate is configured to use the data at the exact time when the data has lagged. If there is no data at that precise time, the most recent valid data starting at the exact lagged time is used. A factor and an offset can be specified that will be applied to the alternate heating value. The calculation for the factor and offset applied to the alternate heating value is as follows:
