Running Estimate Station Data Commands

Note: This functionality is only available in systems licensed for FULL mode.

Use the Station Estimation button to access Estimate Station Data commands that trigger the service to perform station data estimates.

Station data that requires estimation can be missing, late, or of low data quality. Of these data types, late data estimation must be initiated by running the Estimate Station Data command, whereas missing data and low quality data is estimated as soon as the record enters the measurement system. The command triggers a search for station data that needs to be estimated, and the estimation engine associated with the Node defines what data will be estimated, and how to perform the estimation process.

See FMS Commands and Estimate Station Data for more information about this command.

See Scheduling FMS Command Tasks in the MSS for more information about scheduling commands.

See FMS ActiveX Controls and CxHmiFms for more information about using commands via FMS ActiveX controls on CygNet Studio or CygNet Vision screens.

See CxFms for more information about scripting commands.
