Creating Time Based Conditions (for times not listed in Periodic Condition Tool)

[Allison Buenemann]

Rolling averages are frequently used in Seeq to smooth signals. Calculating a rolling average requires creating a Periodic Condition and then applying the Signal from Condition tool to aggregate the signal of interest over the bounding periodic condition. Sometimes, we want to calculate a rolling statistic over a time frame not listed in the Periodic Condition tool (anything < hours). To create a periodic condition for periods of time not offered in the tool, the Seeq formula tool can be used with the periods() function. 

For example, a 15 minute periodic condition can be created by entering "periods(15 min)" into the Seeq formula tool.
