Minimum calculation

The data reduction Minimum is used for determining the minimum of a variable within an interval. Possible settings are:

Further parameters in the configuration are:

Output: The result is provided at the end of the interval or continuously
Initialization: The value is initialized at the beginning of the interval (existing or new value)

Press the button OK to open a dialog where you can enter the parameters for calculating the minimum:

Variable
Display of the event variable

Interval duration

Parameters	Description
Time-limited	Calculation of average over time.
Event triggered	Average is calculated when an event variable changes.
Time	Entry of the numeric value for the corresponding time (real-time synchronous, i.e. entry 15 means 15, 30, 45, 0 etc.).
Seconds, minutes, hours, days	Selection of the time interval.
Offset	Delay for start and end of the average calculation.

Output of the result

Parameters	Description
At the end of the interval	The value is only provided at the end of the interval; until then, only the previous value is available.
continuous	The value is updated during each scan of the source variable.

Initialization at the start of the interval

Parameters	Description
With existing value	Value is based on previous value.
with new value	Value must be re-calculated.

Info

The synchronization time is determined based on the time interval.

Example: If you configure the time interval to be 15 minutes, the calculation will be performed every 15 minutes, starting with the full hour.
