Time period

Time periods mark a range of time inside a time-based HD store. The time period data is generated by ibaPDA and stored as a table in the ibaHD-Server. Time period data is useful for storing and labeling production data for analysis purposes or for marking data belonging to work shifts.

The start and end times and a unique identifier are stored for each time period. In addition to these standard parameters, calculated values or metadata from the production system can also be stored to enrich the information. You can then use the data for filtering or for any type of statistical process analysis.
