In some cases you may want to do a calculation (such as an average) for a specific capsule within a condition. In Seeq Formula, the toGroup() function can be used to get a group of capsules from a condition (over a user-specified time period). The pick() function can then be used to select a specific capsule from the group. The Formula example below illustrates calculating an average temperature for a specific capsule in a high temperature condition. // Calculate the average temperature during a user selected capsule of a high temperature // condition. (The high temperature condition ($HighT) was created using the Value Search tool.) // // To prevent an unbounded search for the capsules, must define the search start/end to use in toGroup(). // Here, $capsule simply defines a search time period and does not refer to any specific capsules in the $HighT condition. $capsule = capsule('2019-06-19T09:00Z','2019-07-07T12:00Z') // Pick the 3rd capsule of the $HighT condition during the $capsule time period. // We must specify capsule boundary behavior (Intersect, EnclosedBy, etc.) to // define which $HighTcapsules are used and what their boundaries are (see // CapsuleBoundary documentation within the Formula tool for more information). $SelectedCapsule = $HighT.toGroup($capsule,CapsuleBoundary.EnclosedBy).pick(3) // Calculate the temperature average during the selected capsule. $Temperature.average($SelectedCapsule)
