Measuring sensors report

Analyze measurement and virtual sensor readings with the Measuring sensors report. Configure parameters and review sensor graphs, statistics, and data tables.

The Measuring sensors report is designed to provide detailed data from configured measurement sensors or virtual sensors with a source value calculation method over a selected period.

This report allows users to view both graphical and statistical information from their devices' sensors, aiding in effective monitoring and decision-making.

Prerequisites for generating mMeasuring sensors report

To successfully generate the Measuring sensors report, the following conditions must be met:

• Device compatibility: Ensure that the device supports the required sensor reading on the Navixy platform. You can verify this by checking the list of supported inputs for the specific model.

• Active data transmission: The device and its sensors must be configured correctly and actively transmitting data.

• Virtual sensors: Virtual sensors should have a source value calculation method and provide numeric values to the platform. If a virtual sensor returns invalid (non-numeric) data, the report displays "Unable to calculate sensor report" instead of graphs and tables. Ensure the virtual sensor is correctly configured to provide numeric values.

• Sensor configuration: The measurement sensors must be properly configured on the platform.

Measuring sensors report parameters

The report uses several parameters to tailor the output to your needs:

• Hide empty tabs: Omits tabs for devices that have no trips in any configured shift during the selected period.

• Show seconds: Shows durations with second precision (hh:mm:ss) instead of hh:mm.

• Include POI in location address: If the address in the report matches a POI, displays the POI's name in front of the address.

• Include geofence in location address: If the address in the report matches a geofence, displays the gefence's name in front of the address.

• Details time range: Displays the received readings in increments of 5, 30 minutes, 1, 3, or 6 hours in the data detail table.

• X-axis on the graph: Choose whether to display the information by time or mileage.

• Smooth data: Apply smoothing to average sensor readings on the graph, providing a cleaner view of trends.

Smoothing may reduce accuracy when analyzing sudden changes such as fuel refills or drains.

• Show address: Displays the address received by the platform along with the data from the sensor. The address shown corresponds to the first reading in the detail segment.

• Use smart filter: Excludes short or invalid trips from the report. A regular trip is excluded if it has fewer than 3 data points, covers less than 100 meters, or stays within a 200-meter diameter. Additionally, individual track points with suspicious mileage patterns (e.g. implausibly high or low speeds) are removed.

For each device, select the sensor for which to generate the report. Only devices with configured measurement or virtual sensors are available. If you select a virtual sensor of the wrong type, the report displays the message: "The sensor is not a measuring sensor."

How to read Measuring sensors report

Sensor readings graph

The graph in the report displays measurement or virtual sensor readings in graphical form, helping you visualize data trends over time or distance.

When you hover over a point on the graph, you can view the exact time it was recorded and the sensor value. If the X-axis is set to mileage, you'll also see the distance at which the reading was taken.

Statistics data

A statistical data table that provides daily summaries of the sensor readings. The Total row at the bottom of the table summarizes the minimum, maximum, and average values across the entire report period.

Column	Description
Date	The specific date for the recorded data
Minimum	The lowest value recorded by the sensor on that date in set units
Maximum	The highest value recorded by the sensor on that date in set units
Average value	The average of all sensor readings for that date in set units

The units of measure vary depending on the sensor settings.

Data breakdown table

The data breakdown table presents sensor readings over specified time intervals, such as every 30 minutes, starting from a set time. It provides a detailed view of sensor data, helping to identify trends or issues during specific periods.

Column	Description
Time	The timestamp for the interval
Value	A representative sensor reading for the bucket in set units
Minimum	Lowest reading in the interval in set units
Maximum	Highest reading in the interval in set units
Average value	Average reading in the interval in set units
Address	Geocoded location if Show address is enabled

If the "No data" message appears, it means no readings were received during that time. This could be due to the device not transmitting data, being turned off, or the sensor being disconnected.
