Use aggregation statistical parameters to do more with your data. The statistical parameters are calculated in the cloud based on the underlying parameter reported by the sensor. It will not affect data collected and you can add and remove them as needed.

For example use the Average value of a parameter over a time period to smooth out spikes or extreme values. Set alarms based on these statistic instead of an instantaneous value to avoid false positives. They are also useful for applications such as monitoring permissible exposure limits for a work shift of 8 hours.

Minimum (MIN): Returns the minimum value over the rolling time period.
​Maximum (MAX): Returns the maximum value over the rolling time period.
​Average (AVG): Returns the average over the rolling time period (moving average).

Choose a time periods between 5 minutes and 1 month for the Min, Max and Average functions. The available intervals are:

These statistics are similar to the Reference variables you can create for Alerts.
