Physical and virtual points represent actual physical time data and are referred to "Current Time Points or "Current Points".  Transformed points accept a current point and change it based on time.  For instance, you can perform some mathematical function on these actual data points such as integral, mean, max, etc, apply a history offset to change it to be some value in the past, or apply a delta time to return the difference of value between the two times.  You call also use all three of these transforming features at once.

The rules for a given point acting on another is as follows:

  • Physical Points.  These represent physical data and doesn't act on another point.r
  • Virtual Points.  These can contain as many physical points or other virtual points as desired, however, cannot contain transformed point.
  • Transformed Points.  These accept a single current time physical or virtual point.

The following live data shows how energy information can be obtained by different types of data.  For instance, one may create a transformed point which results in the difference of energy between today and a week ago, or one may use power data and integrate over one week.  The calculator widget is also included on this page to manually sum up the various data.
