Selecting time intervals

Depending on the settings available under the "Menu / Date selection" you will either be given the choice to analyse intervals spanning a single day or an interval possibly spanning several days. Please note that analysing intervals spanning several days could involve very large amounts of measurement data. This will increase the response times of your web browser and probably cause high workloads on your database server.

Generally, the MyARM browser will use the color red as background when displaying dates for which there are no measurements for this particular date in the database.

"Menu / Date selection" has been set to "One day"

The following figure depicts the "One day" time selection input field:

"User defined"

Selecting this item will display a calendar icon on the right side of the text field with the date. You can either type in the day directly into the text field or click on the calendar icon. Doing this, you'll be able to pick a specific day by clicking it with the mouse.

If you clicked on the calendar icon, the current day will be highlighted with a yellow background color. Days for which there are no measurements in the database cannot be selected (and will be rendered with the color gray).

"Yesterday"

This will base the search interval on the previous day. The text field showing the date will be updated accordingly.

Any other value (preceding 5 days)

For easier navigation, the five days preceding yesterday will be offered for selection, named appropriately (e.g. "Tuesday", "Monday", etc.):

Additionally, you can specify a specific time in the text field labelled "Time:", located right from the date selection widgets. The time is initially set to the last time entered. The drop-down-box located right from the text field is used to specify the interval. To select transactions from 11:30 to 12:00 we could select "12:00" and an interval of minus half an hour:

"Menu / Date selection" has been set to "Multiple days"

The following figure depicts the "Multiple day" time selection input field:

The drop-down-box "From:" provides predefined date selection intervals which are commonly used. Here the "Last 7 days" has been selected. The red background of the "Until" text field indicates that there are no measurements for the 31th of October 2012 in the database.

Hit the button labelled "Apply" to enable the interval.

"User defined"

Selecting this item will display two text fields, both with a calendar icon at the right of the text field. You can either type in the day directly into the text field or click on the calendar icon. Doing this, you'll be able to pick a specific day by clicking it with the mouse.

If you clicked on the calendar icon, the currently selected day will be highlighted with a yellow background color. Days for which there are no measurements in the database cannot be selected (and will be rendered with the color gray). Today (here 1st November 2012) will be rendered with a gray background.
