The Explore Page's plot controls sets the type and style of data displayed in the plot viewer. There are four different types of plots:

  • Signal Time: Plots a continuous value over the course of time.
  • Metric: Plots a discrete calculated value.
  • Signal Signal: Compares a pair of continuous values.
  • Metric Metric: Compares a pair of discrete values.

Signal Time

  • Plot Type: A drop down to select a different plot type.
  • Groups
    • Plot Group Mean: Checking this will plot the mean value of the query group.
    • Plot Group Dispersion: Checking this will display the dispersion of the query group.
    • Group Dispersion Type: A drop down to select the type of dispersion to display, options include: Standard Deviation, Two Standard Deviations, and Interquartile Range.
  • Workspace
    • Plot Workspace Mean: Checking this will display the mean value of the selected workspaces.
    • Plot Workspace Dispersion: Checking this will display the dispersion of the selected workspaces.
    • Workspace Dispersion Type: A drop down to select the type of dispersion to display, options include: Standard Deviation, Two Standard Deviations, and Interquartile Range.
