Formulas: Manage from the web UI

Formulas use the input data collected from a device and apply calculations to provide a meaningful output. A formula is connected to an input on a device, and the formula runs every time data is collected on the device for that input.

Formulas are built as a set of sequential steps. For each step, you choose a formula option and a formula operator to create an output which can be reviewed in Digi Axess.

Where are formulas used?

After a formula has been created, you can connect the formula to an input configuration on an input pin, and then enable the configuration. If you want the data from the input configuration to be included in the Device Summary page, you can select a display group.

Stop a formula from running

When you no longer want the formula to run, you can remove it from the input.

Device-defined and device group formulas

You can create a formula that is used for one specific device, or for the devices in a device group. A set of standard formulas provided by Digi Axess is also available.

• Device formula: Create and manage formulas for a specific device. You can add and manage device-defined formulas only on the device's web UI.

• Device group formula: Create and manage device group formulas. A device group formula is available to the devices in the device group selected for the formula.

  Note Device group formulas can also be created and managed from the Digi Axess Administration dashboard. See Formulas: Manage in Digi Axess Admin (Connect Sensor only).

  Note This feature is for Connect Sensor only.

• Digi Axess formulas: A set of standard formulas created by Digi are available for all devices.
