Stored Trends - Graph history for up to 45 days!

In part three of our series of blogs introducing featured features for our systems management apps – the worldwide green interface VRM and VictronConnect for control of place – we will be talking about the new Stored Trends tool.

You have probably discovered the trends feature in VictronConnect available for devices such as battery monitors and solar charge controllers? It offers a graphical presentation of real-time data and allows you to observe and compare the interaction between two; data files. The data flow can also; paused for further analysis.

For example, a solar cell charge controller allows users to ömonitor twoå requests from the following data inputs:

• Charge current
• Solar voltage
• Solar power
• Battery temperature
• Battery volts
• Battery current
• Solar current

The Trend History
What's new is that we recently added Trend data storage – så that you can observe the graph history for the last 45 days – or soå As long as six months in the case of Smart Battery Sense.

The observation period can be selected by using the magnification tool – the screen furthest down to the left (see above) – the minus button takes you back through time and the plus button moves forward.

This powerful logging allows you to observe the performance of your installation before and after any significant change – perhaps adding a new device – or seasonal changes; switching from lead to lithium; Check the charging mode, the battery capacity … or the load.

The available observation period is between 15 seconds and 45 days (180 days for Smart Battery Sense). Between these twoå extremes there are twenty incremental steps. At maximum history, the recorded observation interval is 30 minutes.

Stored trendlines are dotted at the time of data collection – live data has a clear track record.

Analyzing the actual performance over a period of time allows you to make informed decisions for the future management of your system.

Knowledge is power
Try the stored trends feature next time you are using VictronConnect. Real Analytics is a powerful tool that gives you information that a "Snapshot" never can!
