Configuration

Datastream configuration is mainly handled by choosing a correct plugin and plugin arguments. These two fields are used for this:

Valid plugin names and arguments can found in Supported file types

To do data cleaning and setting up a Unified Name Space (UNS), you can use Preprocessing rules

Data reduction

A datastream can automatically decrease the data size of a signal-by-signal basis. Click the checkbox to enable it:

This will evaluate for each signal if it can be highly compressed. A typical example would be a status signal (shown below). The algorithm will only keep data points that are different from one of their neighbouring data points. Additionally, a minimum data rate is also guaranteed (default 1Hz).

Two advanced options (see below) can be configured for this feature

  1. Data reduction frequency: minimum rate to keep (default: 1Hz)

  2. Data reduction threshold: minimum compressibility that is needed before applying the reduction (default: 90%)
