Data Processing

The Data Processing column displays the processing status of PQZIP data. In order

to activate the tools for this column, you will need to Enable the function by right

clicking anywhere in the Data Processing Column & selecting Enable:

The data processing takes place in 2 stages - namely:

Stage 1 - Data Transferral from the PQZIP to the Database, including:

Decompression & collection of waveform data sources

Data is recompressed into 1min chunks called “BINARIES”

The Binaries & Device Events are stored into the Database

RMS (V/I) are computed into 1min Summaries

After this stage has been concluded, the minimum resolution period that is

available for all the parameters, is 3 Hours.

Stage 2 - Data Processing itself:

Computation of all other parameter summaries

Computation of Class A aggregated parameters (Version 4)

Summaries are stored every 1 Min / 10 Min ( Min/Max/AVG)After this stage has been concluded, all queries may run for a period longer

than 3 Hours.

The Binaries calculated during Stage 1 are used for:

Stage 2 computation

Queries that are initiated from Elspec's Investigator Software Program for

less than 3hours. Any selected parameter is immediately computed from

the stored waveform signal in order to achieve a maximum resolution.

The summaries are used for queries that are run for a longer period than 3Hours & this consequently shortens the response time for such queries.
