Rain Gauge Rain gauges record the amount of rainfall that occurs
over a specific rain event using a collection device
called a tipping bucket. The tipping bucket contains
a calibrated rainfall collection mechanism that tips
once it receives a user-defined quantity of rainfall.
The number of tips recorded throughout a given
interval provides the total rainfall for the rain event.
This data can be used in inflow and infiltration
calculations and to measure rainfall intensity.
Scattergraph A scattergraph is a type of graph that shows a depth
(Dprocessed) data type in relation to a velocity
(Vprocessed) data type.
Scheduled Data Collect This represents the number of days, hours, or
minutes the system waits before automatically
collecting data from a configured flow monitor or
rain gauge and storing the data in the database.
System Alarms (Menu) The System Alarms menu shows the active alarms
(in the basins or system-related) with statuses of
alarming or acknowledged and not cleared.
System Alarm A system alarm (Invalid Password ID, for example)
is an alarm associated with IntelliServe rather than
with an alarm basin.
System Menu The System Menu provides access to the application
through hyperlinked titles for each functional area.
Unacknowledged Alarm An unacknowledged alarm represents an alarm that
has not been acknowledged and, therefore, is still in
an active state.
User Group A user group is a defined set of users to which
permissions are assigned. The groups allow
permissions to be set up easily for a number of users
who perform similar functions.
Value (Event) Value refers to the value that triggers an event or
alarm in IntelliServe.
