Data Tab

The Data Tab displays the interval data and status for the selected Meter Group and Contributor. The Meter Group and Contributor are selected using the Meter Group and Contributor selection boxes on the Toolbar. When the contributor is set to "(All Contributors)" the tab shows the aggregation of all Contributor data in the meter group. Otherwise, the selected Contributor to the selected meter group is displayed.

The top section, Chart View, graphically displays the data. The bottom section, Grid View, numerically displays the data. The full range of historical data in the system is available for viewing. However, the displayed range is based on the Date Range, Zoom and the Data Range Selection Bar.
