What does the raw MATE data (from the Remote program or captured by WattPlot) mean?
Intallact forces you to perform you own "in depth analysis" because it lacks the analytical tools that are needed to calculate system performance.
The greenMonitor Renewable Energy System monitoring software from greenHouse Computer includes the tools you need to determine how your system is performing, and how it will perform in a given set of circumstances. You can determine system performance using a number of environmental conditions, as well as days of the week and times of day.
And if you choose to perform detailed analysis using the raw Mate data, there is no need to store huge raw "OBM" data files. The compressed data log feature of the greenMonitor software stores every single bit of data, complete with the exact time, to the second, that the data was produced. With an average compression ratio of 96%, there’s no reason not to store compressed log file data if you expect to perform this kind of work. With WattPlot from Intallact, you cannot recover the raw data from their proprietary "EPD" file because too much data is lost in the process of compression, and there is no synchronization between the individual EPD files.
