1.0 Download

For the latest WattDepot-apps distribution package download the newest jar file (ending in .jar) from the Downloads page.

2.0 Starting the Application

1. Start up your command line system (terminal or command prompt) and change into the directory where the .jar files was saved and execute the following command:

java -jar wattdepot-apps-visualizer.jar [-resturi URI] [-port number] [-datauri URI]

(Note if RestURI, port number, or DataURI are not provided they will default to public values).

1. A URL be given at the bottom of the command line in a line saying "Application at http://localhost:8003/wattdepotapps/visualizer. Press return to exit" will be displayed. Copy and paste the address into an internet browser window address line and press enter. (You will need to keep the command line window open).

3.0 Using the Application

• Upon Loading the page you will be presented with the following screen.

• The fields available for use are as follows:

1. Display Data: Allows you to chose what kind of data from a power source you wish to find information about. Two types are available:
• Calculated Data: Data that is calculated from the data of a measuring device for a point in time.
1. Power Generated: A floating point number representing an amount of power generated by some entity in Watts.
2. Energy Generated: A floating point number representing an amount of energy generated by some entity in Watt hours.
3. Power Consumed: A floating point number representing an amount of power consumed by some entity in Watts.
4. Energy Consumed: A floating point number representing an amount of energy consumed by some entity in Watt hours.
5. Carbon Emitted: A floating point number representing an amount of carbon emitted by some entity in lbs CO2 equivalent.
• Sensor Data: Values obtained directly from a measuring device.
1. Power Consumed: A floating point number representing an amount of power consumed by some entity in Watts.
2. Power Generated: A floating point number representing an amount of power generated by some entity in Watts.
3. Energy Consumed to Date: A floating point number representing an amount of energy consumed by some entity in Watt-hours. This number starts at 0 and increases every time sampled, so the energy consumed between two points in time is the difference between the two energyConsumedToDate values. If the second value is less than the first value, then the counter has been reset, and energy consumption will need to be determined in another fashion (perhaps using power data).
2. Source: Allows the selection of the source or virtual source (a collective of sources) to gain energy data from.
3. Begin Date: Used to determine the beginning date at which data is gathered. Selected using the Calendar for dates and time based on a 12 hour AM/PM dropdown list.
4. End Date: Used to determine the ending date at which data is gathered. Selected using the Calendar for dates and time based on a 12 hour AM/PM dropdown list.
5. Interval: Provides the amount of time at which data will be collected or calculated providing possibly more accurate data. NOT available when using sensor data.
6. Display Type: Available illustration of data in either chart or table format.
7. Visualize Button: Submits the query with entered information for data.

• When a query is submitted you are presented with a wait box screen.

1. Cancel Button: Clicking on the box will stop the current query.

4.0 Closing the Application

1. Go back to the command line window (from step 2.0). Press the enter button.
2. You may now close the command prompt and your browser.
