Create Random Time Series
A random time series can be created using the ETA menu entries File → New time series → 
Random (see following figure).
In the window that opens (see the following figure), first enter the Start date, the Start time, and the Time zone for the result time series.
The next step is to define the Time axis. The Duration of the time series and its Time Step size are defined here.
In the drop-down list, choose whether you want a Concrete time series or an Abstract time series. Only for concrete time series are the key data specified in the first step Start date, Start time, and Time zone taken into account. Instead, an abstract time series begins with day 00 and hour 00:00:00. For hourly increments, the next time step is day 00 and hour 01:00:00. In hourly steps, this is continued until the end of the time series (see following figure).
Under Data axis, you can define the Unit for the values of the randomly generated time series and restrict the range in which the values lie. The default setting for the Minimum value 0 and the Maximum value 1 generates random values between 0 and 1 in the result time series.
The new time series is stored with the name Random under Temporary time series (see figure above). It can be viewed and further processed in the plot window and in the value table.
