Scatter Plot
A Scatter Plot is one of the several types of analytic report you can generate in Data Explorer.
This style of analytic directly compares two values over time to see if there are any patterns in behaviour.
Accessing the Analytic (Easy)
It is accessible from the navigation menu when you click on a single channel.
For example, you could…
- Left-click on a bar-chart of one of the values you want to compare,
- Choose Compare To… from the menu,
- Pick the other value you want to compare from the pop-up list.
Accessing the Analytic (Complex)
If you want to compare two points that are distant from one-another, Data Explorer may not include the value you want in the menu.
To make a scatter-plot in this case, you should…
- Open the data explorer for the asset that contains one of the points of interest.
- Add the other channel to the dashboard.
- Right-click the new channel and merge the points together in one panel.
- Left-click the space behind the channels, pick Report Type and then Scatter Plot from the menu that will appear.
