====Scatter====

The **Scatter** addon is designed to visually show how two values - particularly analogue values - behave compared to one-another through //scatter plots//.

Below, you'll find some examples...

===Building a Scatter Plot===

Scatter plots are easy to build.

First, open the dashboard of one of the assets you'd like compare, and choose **Scatter Plots** from the options available.

Next, choose the **property** you'd like to put on the X axis from the drop-list at the top of the page.

Then choose the **time range** you'd like to view.

Finally, choose the property you'd like to put on the Y axis from any of the available options. ARDI will suggest a number of likely, related data points - but you can always simply type the name of the point you're interested in at the bottom of the page.

You'll be taken straight to the [[scatter-plot page|scatter-plot page]].

===Filters===

If enabled, you can also add one or more **filters** to your query. This will only plot points where the filter condition is met.

This filter condition does //not// have to be related to the points you've selected for the X or Y axis - it can be based on any data point in ARDI.

For example, you might want to show the **target** temperature vs the **actual** temperature - but only for those times when your machinery is actually running, avoiding the noise caused by your equipment being unused.
