Basic data visualizations for multiple datasets/columns with various display options. The content of this section is distributed across the following tabs:
Component | Description |
| Tabs | Move to different sections |
| Graph toolbar | Actions like zoom, pan, save as image and other settings |
| Main area | Part of the window where the graph or statistics are represented |
Column filter | Filter datasets or columns |
Data tree | Datasets shown in tree form. If checked, column data will be shown in plots. |

Data column | If only one dataset is present, it's possible to filter data by range from any column of that dataset. If multiple datasets are present, it's possible to filter only by solar elevation. |

Tool for visualizing and statistics of two columns over concurrent time period. This feature provides a set of plots and tools divided across these tabs:
Compare window has few default options when opened that can be changed. Double-clicking on graphs in the Scatterplot or Analytical plots tab will maximize the graph.
Component | Description |
Reference dataset | Reference dataset. |
Reference column | Reference column |
Estimate dataset | Estimate dataset |
Estimate column | Estimate column |
Text box | Basic text statistics for the current selection. |
Aggregation | Output time step. |
Min of valid points | Minimum required number of original records (in %) for summarizing the output interval. If this condition is not met (e.g., there are less than 30 1-minute records in hourly output interval, while we require 50% minimum), the output interval is empty - filled by NaN value. |
Year/Month | Filter data by year, month or year and month |
Date | Filter data by date and/or time |
Period of day | Filter data by period of the day, similar to filter data by solar elevation |
Sun elevation | Filter data by sun elevation |
Start at | If checked, histogram starts at this value |
Histogram - Bin size | Set width of bins |
Histogram- Number of bins | Set number of bins of histogram |
CDF- Number of bins | Set number of bins of CDF |
Lock heatmap | If checked, heatmap difference plot will not change the color scale range. |
Show monthly stats | If checked, statistics are shown in monthly graphs. |
Flags | If checked, filtering by flags is applied to columns. Flags can be chosen from the table of flags. |
Redraw | Redraw all graphs. |
Analyze dialog provides an extended view of data in sets of specific graphs that focus on multiyear comparison and single-column visualization.
Component | Description |
Dataset | Selected dataset for visualizations |
Column(s) | Selected column or set of columns for visualizations |
Options | Various options for each tab |
Aggregation | Output time step. |
Min of valid points | Minimum required number of original records (in %) for summarizing the output interval. If this condition is not met (e.g., there are less than 30 1-minute records in hourly output interval, while we require 50% minimum), the output interval is empty - filled by NaN value. |
Year/Month | Filter data by year, month or year and month |
Date | Filter data by date and/or time |

Min of valid records for daily averages | Minimum required number of original records (in %) for summarizing the output interval. If this condition is not met (e.g., there are less than 30 1-minute records in hourly output interval, while we require 50% minimum), the output interval is empty - filled by NaN value. Used only when input is sub-hourly. |
