If you don't know what is the Auto-Switch feature, consider these readings: - Data flow > Auto-Switch - Administration > Auto-Switch
Indicates if the Auto-Switch feature is enabled, considering if this feature is on and enabled for the current Asset.
If the Auto-Switch is disabled for the Asset (in the Event Settings card) or if it's disabled for the entire Live (via the menu Configurations > Additional Features > Auto-Switch), the indicator will be OFF:\
If the Auto-switch is ON, but the normalization is OFF to the Asset, a warning will be displayed:\
Intelie Live supports data normalization templates to speed up the configuration of the normalization. If assets have part of their sources configuration in common, e.g. the same service company, then a template can be used to define that configuration.
Create template option will create a template with all channels configured in this asset. That is useful to save the same configuration and apply it for other assets.
Import template option allows the selection of an already saved template to import to this asset. Imported channels will be merged to already configured ones.
By selecting “Prioritize the channels selected on this template for the selected assets”, the template channels will be imported and selected. If this option is off, the selected channels will be the ones that already exist.
The templates can be managed on the system configuration.
Be aware that the only fields saved are:
Target channel
Input channel
Priority
Filter pipes
Depth channel (if applicable )
Clicking at the "Not Configured Channels" button the user can visualize a list of channels that were not yet used as input channels.
This list represents the raw events filtered by the Event Settings > Pipes filter (see Data Filtering).
Shows the "Data Management" card in full-screen mode.\
Toggles the Channels Management edit mode. During the edit mode, input and target channels status and value are not updated.
A standard Channel
The current value of the normalized channel. This is the input channel value converted to the target channel's unit.
Selected input channel priority
Selected input channel source
Selected input channel. If the Auto-Switch is OFF, the selected channel is was defined manually by the user.
Selected input channel filter
A numeric field that is used to define the priority of the curve. It's not possible to define duplicated priorities or negative numbers. It's used by the Auto-switch (see Data flow > Auto-Switch, and Administration > Auto-Switch)
Optional field used for notes. An asset that uses the Channels Management can choose between displaying this field to the user or not.
The channel to be normalized. This field has an autocomplete feature, that shows the possible input channels (the same ones displayed at "not configured channels").
Input Channel's current value together with its unit.
This functionality allows the user to overwrite the unit received in the input channel. It can be really useful when the input channel is misconfigured, or when the unit is represented differently from what is defined in Live.
Take as an example an input channel that receives value in meters:
As Live does not understand meters , only m, there will be a unit conversion error in normalization. To solve that, the user can define the Override Input Unit as m. This way, Live will treat the received data as m, and not meters.
Please note that the override input unit does not perform any conversion. As the name suggests, it only overrides the unit. It's also important to mention that the Override Input Unit field is compatible (i.e. can be converted to) with the Target Channels' unit.
If you want the meters unit (or any other) to be recognized by the hole Live, consider creating an alias or a unit extension in the Unit Management Tools screen.
