Understand balance term definition

You can define up to nine time periods over which balance data is collected. The categories are as follows:

• Short Term — three periods available in time intervals from 1 to 60 minutes. Every minute, the system rolls up the minutely values associated with each of these terms to calculate deviations and decide if an alarm needs to be raised.

• Long Term — three periods available in hourly intervals from 1 to 24 hours. Every minute, the system rolls up the minutely values associated with each of these terms to calculate deviations and decide if an alarm needs to be raised.

• Extended Term — three periods available in daily intervals from 1 to 60 days. Every hour, the system rolls up the hourly values associated with each of these terms to calculate deviations and decide if an alarm needs to be raised.

To set the Period time interval

• Using the text boxes under the Period column, set the time for each of the six possible intervals.

  Note: A zero value for any interval disables processing of that interval.
