We are using a SED Decimator and would like to correlate the spectrum trace data, over time, to trended parameters from other elements for the same time period. While configuring the Spectrum Monitor, it seems like the functionality is there under alarming and trending, however, I have not been able to get a trend trace to populate. The ultimate goal is to have a dashboard or view where the user can select a timeframe and see the time correlated trended parameter and trace data on the same page.
Hi Steve,
That would currently not be possible. You can indeed leverage monitors to perform measurements, and the metrics / KPIs generated by those can be monitored and/or trended over time. But traces are not stored permanently. You can have a spectrum trace recording automatically upon detection of an alarm on a KPI (in which case you can replay that recording, that option is available in the right click menu of such an alarm). But currently you cannot 'trend' the entire trace continuously, and then go back to any point of time and see that trace.

PS: We do have some projects where we are currently bidding, that require such capability. So in that context the feasibility to further expand the current ad hoc (upon alarm or manually) recording capabilities to permanent recording has been done, and this would be possible. In that case DataMiner would maintain a continuous history of all spectrum traces, and offer replay capabilities at specific points in the past. We have recently also added quite some really nice new dashboard components for spectrum traces, so those would then also support that capability.
