7.5. Understanding Groups
Grouping is a key concept of the ValProbe RT software. After your qualification study is
complete, grouping allows you to customize your reports. Use the following guidelines when
defining groups:
There must be at least one group defined in a setup. Each group must have a unique name.
Groups should be homogeneous (similar sensor types) since calculations are performed on all
the sensors.
You can assign a sensor to more than one group to relate the sensor’s output to different
conditions. For example, you might have the same sensors in more than one group to look at
data over different intervals. You could specify the maximum sensor reading during exposure
for one group, and specify the maximum sensor reading during the entire qualification cycle for
another group.
You must assign a sensor to a group to record data from that sensor. Any sensor not assigned
to a group is considered unused and no data is recorded for that sensor.
