Like the Visibility display, the Waves displays a graphical overview of all Wave sensors within the system/cluster.
The graphs present the most recent 12 hours of wave data, with annotation below the plots giving a snapshot of the current conditions (wave height, wave period and direction) infer whether conditions are improving or deteriorating.
In the footer at the base of the screen there are two timer controls.
The first displays the system time as stored by the server. This will be represented in either UTC or a local time zone depending on the system configuration.
The second is a count down timer which indicates the number of seconds until the display window us refreshed. When the counter expires the Port-Log database will provide the latest set of sensor records to the web display. Depending on the sample frequency of the sensors, the latest data record may not change with every refresh of the web display.
Menu Options
User can move between different sections of the system. Here, "Waves" has been selected.
A timer indicating the system time (time zone dependent on client specifications), with sunset time given as an indication of remaining light for the day.
A timer to indicate when the browser will refresh (usually every 10 seconds). If there is new data to display, this will replace values already in place upon the web page.
