Monitoring Data - Average or Instantaneous?

Hi Tigo

I understand that with your premium data logging subscription I can retrieve the following data points at a 1min resolution. 

Energy (Wh)
Power (W)
Reclaimed Power (W)
Voltage (V)
Current (A)

My question is how these data points are calculated? Are these the module instantaneous values at the time of recording? Or are they averages taken of the last 1min period? If they are averages, how many samples are taken to calculate the averages with?

  Hi Matthew,

  Thank you for contributing to the Tigo Community,

  The Energy parameter describes the cumulative sum of the energy production of the PV module on that actual day. On the other hand, the remaining parameters express the average value of multiple points in the previous minute.

  Thanks Enzo!
  
  Regarding the average values, how many points are taken during the previous minute? Is there a fixed rate that the CCA polls the TS4-A-O's at?

  Hi Matthew,

  Unfortunately, this is proprietary information that I can not share to the public. 

  Hope in your understanding,
