Timeline analysis UI

Analysis UI

NOTE: Alarms and data measurements during an incident occur in very short time intervals. To show the correct sequence of events in the timeline analysis, the timestamps must be accurate. Consider using monitoring devices with Precision Time Protocol (PTP) or GPS time synchronization for accurate time stamping.
