It can happen that you have data gaps in your BEEP base measurements. E.g. because your LoRa connection was down. If your BEEP base was active, the measurements have been saved on the base itself. You can download the data from the BEEP base, import it to the BEEP app and match it with the available data.


The basic idea of the import and matching of data is that you can compare different blocks of data from the BEEP base with the data that is already available on the BEEP database. The data is compared based on 5 to 12 parameters; battery voltage, sound frequencies, weight and temperature. If the data matches for over 99% of the block, and the time deviation is smaller than 2 minutes, you can import the data. When this is not the case, the data import button is disabled.


When you check the log data, you see green, red and grey blocks. 

  • The green blocks are data blocks that can be matched with the data already available in your app (the data that was sent over the LoRa network). 
  • The red blocks can be viewed but are less than 50% matched with the data in the database, and can therefor not be imported (99% match is the minimum requirement for import).
  • The grey blocks have less than 5 matched data points and can therefore not be compared with the database.


 

Step 1: import log data in menu

Go to the menu in the top right corner and click on 'import log data'.


Step 2: select log file to check log data

You will see different packages of messages which contain data. In the overview, you see for which bases and hives there is data available, the number of messages and size of the log file.


Step 3: check log data

Click on 'check log data' to load the log data to the BEEP base.


Step 4: check log data

When you check the log data, you see green, red and grey blocks.

  • The green blocks are data blocks that can be matched with the data already available in your app (the data that was sent over the LoRa network). 
  • The red blocks can be viewed but are less than 50% matched with the data in the database, and can therefor not be imported (99% match is the minimum requirement for import).
  • The grey blocks have less than 5 matched data points and can therefore not be compared with the database.


Click on 'view data' to get an overview of the data.


Step 5: check log data

The first graph shows the data from the flash log, the second graph shows the database data. In this example, you see that there are more data points in the flash log data set.


Step 6: check log data

At the top of the graph you see the percentage of matches of the flash log with the database data. In this example, the sets are a 100% match. You can manually inspect data-points with the same timestamp to compare the data. It is easiest to use peaks or dips to get a clear comparison. Use your cursor to get more information.


Step 7: check log data

Compare the flash log with the database.


Step 8: import block data

You can supplement your data by clicking on 'import block data' at the bottom of the page. 

The import button is only enabled when the time difference is at most 2 minutes and the percentage of matches at least 99 percent.



Step 9: import block data

When your import of the block data was successful, you see a pop up message. Your BEEP base memory is automatically emptied.


Step 10 (optional): check log data again

After you imported the data you can check the log data again. You will see in the next screen shot that the database and flash log data is now aligned.



Step 11: undo import

After you imported the data you can choose to undo the import in the overview.



Step 12: undo import

After you imported the data you can choose to undo the import in the overview.


Step 13: redo import

After you undo an import, you can import the missing values again if needed.


Step 14: variation in number of identical values per match (low)

With the scale in the right top corner you can adjust the number of identical values per match from 5 to 12. The identical values per match are the number of parameters that match in the flash log and database data. These parameters are weight, temperature, battery voltage and the different sound frequencies. 


The lower you set the number of identical values, the higher the number of matches.


Step 15: variation in number of identical values per match (high)

With the scale in the right top corner you can adjust the number of identical values per match from 5 to 12. The identical values per match are the number of parameters that match in the flash log and database data. These parameters are weight, temperature, battery voltage and the different sound frequencies. 


The higher you set the number of identical values, the lower the number of matches.
