Counting

Counting by Values

The method counts the data points of a time series whose values fulfill a certain condition. The number of these data points is displayed in a small window.

To start the method, select Methods → Analyze time series → Count from the menu bar or the context menu of the time series in the Project Explorer (see the following figure).

In the window that opens (see following figure), select the Time series to be processed. A multiple selection is not possible.

Count Condition

Under Count condition, you define the ratio of the values to be counted to a certain value within a tolerance range. The Number, the corresponding Unit, and the Tolerance can be freely determined. The comparison operators >=, =, and <= are available for the ratio to the value. The following applies in detail:

  • Greater than or equal to: Every value in the time series that is greater than or equal to the entered Number and Unit is counted.
  • Equal: Every value of the time series that is equal to the entered Number and Unit is counted.
  • Less than or equal to: Every value in the time series that is less than or equal to the entered Number and Unit is counted.

If necessary, the Tolerance limit for the condition can be adjusted.

The Count empty data points option disables the selection by values. Only empty data points (NaNs) are counted.

The result of the count, the number of data points that meet the condition, is displayed in a small window as shown in the following figure.

The following figure illustrates the process of counting schematically.
