Almanac View

View register data and compare values over time periods.

Requires firmware version 4.7 or higher.

 

The Almanac View is used to compare cumulative or average value eGauge data over longer time periods than are typically viewed in the chart view. This view is useful for comparing data from day to day, month to month or year over year.

It can be accessed through the Main Menu by navigating to View → Almanac.

 

By default, the Almanac view is set to show monthly Usage. These settings can be changed by clicking on the pencil icon in the upper right corner of the view.

The default view for the Almanac - Monthly Usage. Click the pencil icon to access the settings below

 

Available settings and options:

  • Almanac Period - Set the time period to show in your almanac. You can specify daily, monthly or annual time periods. An additional total reading will show for the next higher time period. For example, monthly readings will show additional yearly totals.  Daily readings will show additional monthly totals.
  • Register to display - Any configured register will be available to choose from this list.
  • Display average value - Enable this option to show average values over the specified Almanac period. When unchecked the Almanac view will show cumulative totals.
  • Flip sign of the value - Enabling this option flips the polarity of the displayed register.  Negative becomes positive, positive values become negative.
  • Physical unit - The physical unit of the displayed register can be customized.  Leaving the unit set to 'auto' will leave the reading in the unit the register is recorded in (e.g. kWh for Power). Choosing another option will convert the reading appropriately to the equivalent value in the chosen unit.
  • Custom title - Enable this option if you would like to apply a custom title to your almanac view. If left disabled, the system will name the view based on the chosen register name.

View on Startup

The Almanac view is available to choose as the default view. Navigate to View → on startup and choose Almanac to automatically display this view when opening your eGauge interface page.

  • Clearing your browser cache after changing the startup view can be a helpful step.
