desired data manipulation within the selected range.

Template-selectable display range options shall be "current", "previous", or "date range" with range
and appropriate data intervals. "Current" ranges shall be time periods of one hour, two hours, etc.,
up to one year. Starting at the beginning of the range (i.e., a display of the "current" month shall
start at 00:01AM the first day of the month and display selected values up to the present time). Data
intervals within the selected ranges shall be selectable from ten seconds to one month, dependent
upon the sample intervals. The X-Axis resolution shall accommodate up to 100 data values.
"Previous" ranges shall be similar to current ranges, except that a full "range" of data (such as a full
seven days of data for the past week, up to the present time) shall be provided. Selectable range,
data intervals, and X-axis resolution shall be as specified for the "current" display range.
Date range selection shall provide templates for the entry of year, month, date, hour, and minute for

Data manipulation. Within the selected X-axis intervals of the selected X-axis range of
data, data manipulation options shall be template selectable as the actual, last, highest,
lowest, or average of the actual data samples within each interval. For example, for data
sampled every five minutes one might select the highest value within every two hours for
the past week.
From that display, noting the two hour period with the peak value, he may subsequently
request a display of actual values every five minutes for the related two hour period.
b)
Point group displays. Point group displays shall be set-up by selecting each point desired
to be displayed in a logical trend group and either setting up a new group with appropriate
group name (such as AHU RETURN AIRTEMPS) or selecting an existing group from a
drop-down menu. Group displays shall then be initiated by selecting a top-level menu-bar
option trend, and selecting a trend group from a subsequent drop-down menu. From this
point, template selectable display options shall be as specified for single point displays (i.e.,
current, previous, date range, actual, highest, lowest, average).
Trend presentation options. After defining a desired trend display as above, selectable presentation
options of display, print, or spreadsheet shall be available.
Display. Selecting "display" shall present the data in an automatically scaled multi-color curve plot.
Curve plots shall include a color legend noting which color is associated with each point. Points
shall each have a user modifiable full English point descriptor of no less than 60 characters.
An English description of the trend display set up options shall also be automatically included on the
display (such as "highest value every two hours for the last week").
Print. Selecting "Print" shall initiate an immediate printout of the same data values used to construct
the above curve plot. Print format shall include a header with a time column and eight-digit value
columns of data. The appropriate ENGINEER ing unit shall be at the head of each column. The
print header shall include a column point descriptor legend and an English description of the trend
display set-up options as specified for the "display" option.
Spreadsheet. Selecting the spreadsheet option shall present the display values (after data
manipulation) in a spreadsheet (Microsoft Excel or Lotus 1-2-3) format. From this screen, the user
may edit the values to correct problems (missing data, failed sensors, errors). After editing, display
or print options specified above may be executed, or any other standard spreadsheet data
manipulation options may be exercised.
