Probe Statistics

The Probe Statistics report allows you search by Zone Name, as well as by a specific pool type to return probe results within a time period for the designated zone and pool combination.

The Probe Statistics Report is broken down into two reports: Probe Summary which is a basic overview of data, and Probe Details which provides a more detailed account of the results returned.

Additionally, each report provides different results based upon the Pool Type you select. Once results are returned, you can click on a returned value to view additional details. Reporting time-frames are returned using the GMT time zone.
