Zone Partition Statistics vs Time Template

Overview and Key Concepts

This template is a Zone template. It assumes that you already have a Zone in a process flow in your model, and that you want to create a chart based on partition statistics from that Zone.

This template creates a time plot. The time plot will show the value of the chosen partition statistic through time. Each partition will be represented by a different colored line. If you choose a local Zone of an instanced flow, then there will be one line per partition per instance.

The Options Tab

The Options tab has the following properties:

  • Zone - Specifies the Zone to use as a data source. Use the Sampler button to choose a Zone.
  • Statistic - Specifies which statistic to collect from the Zone. If you want to gather something besides a Partition statistic, use the Zone Statistics vs Time template, instead of this template.
  • Calculation - Specifies the Partition Calculation to use, based on the chosen statistic.
  • Partition Value Type - Specifies whether the Zone is partitioned by a number, or by text.
  • Instance Display - Specfies how the word Instance should appear in the legend, if it appears.
  • Partition Display - Specifies how the word Partition should appear in the legend, if it appears.

The Settings tab is identical to the Time Plot Settings tab. For more information, see Time Plot Settings.

The Colors Tab

The Colors tab is identical to the Time Plot Colors tab. For more information, see Time Plot Colors.

The Advanced Tab

This template, like all templates, uses the Advanced Tab. For more information, see Advanced Tab.
