Summary of meeting 4/5/2011

[Philip Johnson]

Summary of meeting:

1. Sampling intervals:

Don't pass (or pass 0) for the sampling interval since there is an energy counter.

2. Could you change the name of "Plot Monitor" to "Power Monitor".  That better represents the gadget.

Done. 

3. Bug: "Last Check" value is not getting updated.

4. The watts/kilowatts menu is not completely implemented. 

Fixed.

5. For display interval, could you provide a new entry: 24 hours. 

Fixed.

6. Please try to fix NaN line that appears when using Safari.

7. Energy Monitor

* Switch to using the Data visualization API.

* Add to label: "Interval is N minutes."

* Temporary workaround:  subtract 1 minute from current time for sources to guarantee that sensor data is available.  (This is only really needed in the case of virtual sources, but you can do it for all sources for now.  Robert will create a new API call that fixes this problem in the future.)

8. Change both titles.

Instead of <source> <data display>, do:   <data display> (<source>)

Example: Energy Consumed (Lehua-A)

9. Change the Energy monitor kHw units to:

  <kWh> (Total over display interval)

Example: 134.5 kWh (Total over display interval)

10.  Paper

* Paper should start with a title.

  Then author, affiliation, date.

  <new page>

  Table of contents (label)

  <table of contents>

  <new page>

  <remainder of paper>

Plot Monitor -> Power Monitor

Add Energy Monitor description.

Discuss issues found during development:
