The chart widget displays a chart that can be embedded in any webpage or displayed on your secure ioBridge dashboard. The data that the chart displays is from a data log.
Here is what a chart widget looks like on your free dashboard:
Creating a chart widget
Widgets → Create Widget → Chart
To create a chart widget, you first have to have a data log started for one of your channels.
After you have a data log, you can use the widget wizard to create a chart. Select the Widgets tab, click “Create Widget”, and select “chart”.
Chart Options
Once you have created your Chart Widget, you can select many options to customize your chart.
Number of Days
Use this option to select the number of days that the chart widget displays.
Chart Style
There are two styles of charts available: Original and Advanced. The original charts were the original charts included with your ioBridge account. The charts have been upgraded to support many new features, including axis labeling, chart types, local timezone support, and iOS and Android compatibility.
Chart Type
The advanced charts have many chart types available: Line, Spline, Step, Area, Column, and Bar. Depending on your application, you may find a chart type more suitable to represent the data. For example, if you are monitoring power or water, you may find that the Step or Column chart types might convey more information at a glance.
