EDG Gauge Auto Enable/Disable Explained

SUMMARY

The EDG Gauge app will automatically enable/disable a proctor data point based on an internal proprietary algorithm.  The algorithm uses the electrical data recorded to determine how good the collected point data is. This article will provide an explanation of the Auto Enable/Disable algorithm.

SOLUTION

1. All data points are evaluated for valid electricals and temperature values.
2. All data points that have not been disabled by the user are enabled.  
3. A proprietary algorithm using electrical capacitance and impedance computes as a base line criterion for all enabled points.
4. Using results from step 3, a percent error for each point is computed.
5. If any points have a percent error greater than 15%, the point with the greatest percent error above 15% is disabled. Points enabled by users are ignored in the removal process but included in the calculations at step 3.
6. If a point is disabled in step 5, the process is repeated starting with step 3.
7. The process will continue to run until all points pass, or the minimum number of points limits is met.

Notes

• A proctor has to have a minimum of 3 points.
• If the proctor has 3 points or less the algorithm is not used, and points are left enabled.
• If the algorithm will only process while it has more than 3 enabled points.
• If a point is disabled by the user, it is not enabled when the algorithm begins and is ignored by the algorithm.
• If a point is enabled by the user, it is used in the algorithm regardless of the percent error computed.
• Points where the user has entered physical data and not run any electrical data are included in the process.  These points should be removed or disabled by the user.
