Get Uploaded Data

This layer loads a frameset from a CSV file that the user uploads.

Adding this layer to an analytic will make the 'Upload Measurement(s)' button appear in the list of captures.

Parameters

Name	Default	Meaning
columns		A list of required column names
length	30	Length of the event (in seconds) if no end given
offset	0	Amount of offset (in seconds) to subtract from the given time(s)

Description

This function loads a set of frames based on either a fixed time, or a start and end time.

These frames may (and usually will) also contain other information, such as manual measurements, inspection results or descriptions of that particular point of time.

This data is often used to convert manual measurements into AIs that provide virtual sensors.

Required Columns

At the very least, the file must have a column named 'Time' or 'Date' (the case doesn't matter).

Alternatively, it could have 'Start' and 'End', 'StartTime' and 'EndTime' or 'StartDate' and 'EndDate' to provide variable time ranges.

Example

Using a layer like this…

{
   "type": "get_upload",
    "length": 60
}

…and uploading a file like this…

Time,Vibration,Temperature
2025-08-02 10:00,0.22,15
2025-08-03 14:44,4,40
2025-08-04 12:31,4,34

Will load in 3x 60-second timeframes, each with a 'Vibration' and a 'Temperature' amount.

You could then capture other process details around that time (ie. the AIPOINTS function in AQL would let you capture the current, voltage & mode of the machine, status of the process, ambient temperature conditions at that point in time etc.) to build an AI model.
