Min and Max:

Use the Min and Max checkboxes if you want to limit the data set to records within a specific range.

Indoor, Outdoor, Dewpoint and Windchill:

For some data types, you can choose to display more or less details. The details available will change depending on the data type selected.

DATA PROPERTIES

These properties allow us to choose the specific data records that will be displayed for the weather data selected in the graph properties.

Type:

Use this dropdown to select the time period over which the chosen weather data will be displayed. An example would be if you had selected Indoor Temperature in the Graph properties, here you could choose Current Day for the time period, and only the Indoor Temperature records from the current day will be displayed on the template.

Selected Period, Start and End: These fields are provided to give you a better idea of the time period you have selected.

The Selected Period shows a graphical representation of when the time period occurs. The start and end date and time display the exact range of the data record set that will be used in the template.

If you choose a User Defined period type, these fields can be used to set the properties of the time period.

Data Interval:

The Data Interval setting allows you to define how close together the data points are represented on the chart. A shorter interval will place more data points in the chart, and will give a more detailed graph line.

Break Graph Interval (BGI):

This Break Graph Interval (BGI) property places a space, or break, of the selected time amount between the chosen data intervals. This can help define the data intervals, and make them easier to distinguish from each other. The BGI can be defined as this: if the gap between two consecutive data points is as big as, or bigger than, the chosen BGI then the data points will not be connected by a line.

An example of this would be if you have a recording interval of 1 minute, and have recorded data for a full 2 days. Then the weather station did not record any data on day 3 (perhaps the batteries were dead, etc). Then you replace the batteries and data is recorded for another full day on day 4. There is one day of data missing on day 3.

If you generate a chart showing the data from all four days with NO BREAK GRAPH INTERVAL, there will be a straight line connecting the last data point on day 2 (when the recording stopped) to the first data point on day 4 when the data recording started again. If we enable the BGI, a space will appear on the chart to represent the missing data.
