Custom data series

If none of the existing templates suit you, you can create your own. The data series type determines what data the data source will send. There are a total of 3 data series types:

1. The simplest is a binary data series. It allows to monitor only 2 different values, which are determined by the first two readings. An example application is a meter measuring whether a gate is open/closed as a function of time.
2. Continuous data series can have any value within a range of values. These are data that can be measured on a scale. Maximum, minimum and average values can be calculated from these values. Typically, continuous data is used to measure length, time, temperature, etc.
3. Discrete data is data where the values have predefined values, usually integers. A characteristic of discrete data is that it cannot be further subdivided into more detailed values as in the case of continuous data. They are used to measure, for example, the number of people in a room, the number of disturbances during the day, etc.

When naming a data series, do not use the default name Custom to avoid confusion with other meters and data series.
