After completing this topic, you can visualize and explore telemetry from a single Run to understand signal behavior over time.

​
Before you begin

  • You have a Run with ingested telemetry data.
  • You know which Channels you want to investigate.

​
How Run analysis works

A Run represents a defined time window of telemetry captured from an Asset. To analyze a Run, you open it in Explore and plot Channels across Panels to visualize signal behavior over time. Explore supports multiple Panel types, each suited to a different kind of analysis. For enum and boolean channels, use the Enum Panel to visualize discrete states as a color-coded timeline. You can arrange multiple Panels side by side and save your layout as a Panel Configuration for reuse across future Runs.
Phase Annotation: If a Run spans multiple tests or sub-events, mark the start and end of each one with a Phase Annotation. Phase Annotations let you correlate telemetry to a specific test without creating a separate Run for each one, and you can use them as alignment points when comparing the same test across Runs.

​
Open and analyze a Run

  1. In Sift’s homepage, enter the Run name in the Search box.
  2. In the Runs table, click the Run you want to analyze.
  3. Click Explore.
  4. Select a Panel type to add to the workspace.
  5. In the Channels tab, click or drag a Channel onto the Panel to plot it.
    • To plot multiple Channels at once, hold Shift and click to select a range, or hold Cmd (Mac) / Ctrl (Windows, Linux) and click to add or remove individual Channels. Drag any selected Channel to plot the entire selection, or right-click any selected Channel to apply a context menu action to all selected Channels.
  6. Optional: To change how Channel data is downsampled, open the Panel settings, click the Channel tab, locate the Channel, click Expand, and select a method from the Sampling method list.
  7. Optional: To compare signals side by side, split a Panel by right-clicking its tab and selecting a split direction.
    • The split duplicates the Panel in the selected direction and creates an independent Panel that can be configured separately.
    • Alternatively, click to add a new Panel from scratch.
  8. Optional: Use range controls to zoom into a time range and focus on a specific event or anomaly.
  9. Optional: To create a new Run or Metrics Panel from a specific X-axis range in a Time Series Panel, click Select X in the toolbar, click and drag over the desired range, right-click the selection, and select Create Run or Create Metrics Panel.
