Variables

The Drill Down capability within Hyper Historian (and GridWorX) relies on the use of Variables to define:

Asset and Time Drilldown Dimensions
Source Data Variables
Aggregations to Calculate (Arithmetic, Time-weighted)

To Add a Drill Down Variable:

Start the Workbench, then expand your project. Next, expand the Historical Data node to show the Hyper Historian node. Expand the Hyper Historian node to show the Drill Down node.
Expand the Drill Down node to show the Variables node. Then, right-click the Variables node in the navigation tree and select Add Drill Down Variable, as shown in the figure below.
