Time Periods
Example: design a monitor for the consumption of energy with a weekly scale and a daily unit. Follow these
steps to configure the widget:
1. Add protocol
2. Add Tag and link it to the physical variable to monitor (total energy consumed – ex. KW/h), we can
call this Tag KWh. This tag contains an incremental number that summarize how many KW/h has
been consumed from when energy started.
3. Add a Trend and link it to the KWh Tag to monitor
4. Add Consumption meter widget into a Page
5. Attach Value property of Consumption Meter to the KWh Tag.
6. Set Graph Duration/Units to 1 Week (range of time considered by Widget). This allow us to have a
weekly graph of consumed energy.
7. Set Bar Duration/Units to 1 day (range of time where calculate consume of energy)
8. In Properties -> Consumption Meter, you can change the number of labels to show in the bar
graph (ex. X Labels = 7 if we need a weekly graph).
9. Open Time Periods to access a configuration dialog that allow the setting of different colors for
different values of the Tag KWh monitored in each bar.
10. Add as many color bands as you need, in this example we've added 3 color bands.
11. Assign to each hour in the weekly table the related band. In this example a red band (E1) was used
to indicate the range of time in the day/week where the cost of energy is the highest.
12. For each band, if needed, a scale factor can be assigned.
The result is a consumption meter as a bargraph that shows daily consumption of energy (KW/h in this
example) where the colors indicate the different energy cost that has been consumed. The height of each
bar represents the amount of energy in the range of time considered (1 day in this example).

In TimePeriods dialog, to assign the color to the cells of the table, you can select the cells and click on the
related band/color. Another way is to enter the index value of the band (1, 2, 3) into the cell to color it.

this property allows to highlight, with a minimum resolution of 1 hour,
the increment of the monitored resource in a determined time period by
using a specific color. Each bar composing the graph will then be
represented using different colors, each showing the increment of the
monitored resource in the corresponding time period.
