The following group types are available:

  • Summary Values from XLReporter

This type delivers calculated aggregates from the from the text file such as hourly averages over a duration of the file. The group requires a set of columns, calculation types and an interval over which the calculation is performed.

By default, the aggregates are calculated on time weighted values from the file. Check use raw values to change the calculation to raw values from the file.
