Note  For a description and a complete list of UI Objects, see UI Objects.

Works in combination with the data logger function to present a collection of data using time-based statistical charts. This object automatically adapts the graphical layout and size of the charts based on the overall object's size. The default presentation can be customized using several optional attributes. A datalogger can have a browser mode (if available server-side) for consulting past data. If a datalogger in browser mode isn't visible for more than a minute, it automatically resets to live mode.

UI Object datalogger.1.pngUI Object datalogger.2.pngUI Object datalogger.3.png

Parameters

  • id: the object's ID, used by UISets. Optional
  • loggerID: the datalogger ID (or comma-separated list of multiple IDs)
  • position: the object's position. Use the pixels or rows and columns coordinates format
  • size: the chart's area's width and height
  • unit: list of values axis labels. If the datalogger has slots, one unit for each slot. If there are multiple datalogger ids, one unit for each datalogger
  • attributes: list of UI attribute names and values defining the chart's aspect and data. Setting this parameter is the same as setting each UI attribute with a UISet

Syntax

(datalogger[!<id>] <loggerID>; <pos>; <width>; <height>; <label>; <attributes>)

E.g.

(datalogger!datalogger1 edl; x80y60; 820; 500; kWh; controls=toolbar)

Types

There are 5 different options to display data, which correspond to five possible values of the type attribute.

type="bars"
UI Object datalogger.bars.png
type="points"
UI Object datalogger.points.png
type="line"
UI Object datalogger.line.png
type="spline"
UI Object datalogger.spline.png

Pie

The pie type is particularly useful to compare multiple dataloggers.

The optional pielegendposition attribute determines the legend position relative to the pie chart.

type="pie"
UI Object datalogger.pie.1.png
type="pie" (with pielegendposition="right")
UI Object datalogger.pie.2.png

HD

In browser mode, it is possible to display a high definition version of the current resolution, which selects and displays values from the next resolution available. For example when HD is active, the "month" resolution will display all the data from the "day" resolution, so it will show 744 (31*24) values instead of 31. HD is displayed only when available (if the next resolution data is available and not consolidated).

HD is controlled by the hd attribute, which can be either "true"/"false" or "toggle" which will show an icon and let the user control it.

Multiple Dataloggers

The Datalogger object can be configured to show multiple dataloggers at once. The loggerID parameter (or loggerid attribute) can contain a list of IDs of visible dataloggers.


To give the user the option to select which dataloggers to show, the list attribute can be used. If a list is set, a drop down menu will appear in the top left of the toolbar (which is visible only if controls is set to toolbar). The names attribute allows to associate a name to each datalogger of the list (or each datalogger specified in loggerid, if the list is empty).

UI Object datalogger.6.png


By default, all dataloggers are merged on the same scale. The multirange attribute allows each datalogger to have its own range, with its scale shown on the left of the chart.

UI Object datalogger.7.png


The rangegroups attribute allows dataloggers to be grouped to a common range.

UI Object datalogger.8.png


The valuecolor[n] attribute (where n is an index starting from 1) changes the value color of a specific datalogger.

In a datalogger with type range, the value is used for average, while colors for maximum and minimum are automatically calculated by changing the brightness. Use only colors in rgb or hex formats.


Note  To avoid strange behaviors when displaying multiple dataloggers, it's better to choose dataloggers that have common properties (such as origin, range, consolidation).

Fullscreen

The datalogger object has a fullscreen mode, that can be toggled by clicking the fullscreen icon, or by setting the value of the "fullscreen" UI Attribute.

The fullscreen mode will hide any other object and scale the datalogger to cover the whole screen.

If the URL query "fullwindow" is present, the datalogger will just expand inside the browser's window instead of actually going fullscreen.
