The Profile tab displays an historical record for the ME/SE endpoint. A water endpoint will store 90 days of hourly readings.
The number of days of storage for more frequent intervals is proportionally decreased (22 days for 15 minute intervals and 7
days of five minute intervals).
This data is stored as blocks of 24 readings. In handheld and mobile applications, customers can request all 90 days or certain
blocks (days) of data.
S/N Displays the serial number of the ORION ME endpoint.
1st Dt/Tm Displays the first date of the selected profile. For example, if you request 7 in the Days field, the
date displayed is 7 days prior to the current date..
Days Select the number of days of data for the profile. Available choices: 1, 7, 14, 30, 60, ALL (90)
Interval Displays the interval for the profile calculation. For example, 60 = hourly reads.
Quantity Display the number of hourly reads chosen/heard.
