Virtual Tags

Formula-based derived metrics and unit conversions.

The Virtual Tags module enables you to generate calculated values using existing telemetry data. These Virtual Tags operate independently of physical devices and can be used throughout the platform just like standard telemetry values.

Virtual Tag Management

The Virtual Tag list provides a centralized view of all created Virtual Tags. From this page, you can browse existing records, create new Virtual Tags, and manage previously configured calculations.
