After completing this topic, you can visualize and explore telemetry from a single Run to understand signal behavior over time, then share your findings with your team.

​
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. Select Runs in the navigation, then 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.

​
Set a Panel’s timezone

Every new Panel uses a default timezone. To change the default for all new Panels, open User Settings in Explore and select a different Default Timezone. To display a different timezone on a single Panel without changing that default, set it directly on the Panel.
  1. In the Panel, click Settings.
  2. Open the Time-alignment tab.
  3. In the Alignment list, select Timezone.
  4. Select the timezone you want to apply to this Panel.
Supported Panels: Timeseries, Histogram, Geo Map, FFT, and Scatter Plot Panels support a per-Panel timezone override.

​
Share your analysis

Instead of describing what you found, send a teammate a link to it. Sift captures the current workspace state, including plotted Channels, panel layout, and time range, and generates a link that opens the same view.
  1. Click Share.
  2. Share the link with your team.
