Synthetic Variables

The dashboard includes the ability to create synthetic variables to calculate a new result from data collected. Various commonly used mathematical functions are supported plus additional data range functions. Synthetic variables can be graphed, used in thresholds, or in subsequent calculations.

Two simple examples:

Using a simplified algorithm, calculate the dew point temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. Please note this is not the algorithm used in our module code.

Dew Point approximation: Td= T-(100-RH)/5
((((T -32)/1.8)-((100-RH)/5))*1.8)+32

Calculate the hourly mean of the relative humidity data collected. This new variable can be graphed with the raw data as shown in the graph below.

Hourly Mean: Relative Humidity
