Introduction

The Insights dashboard is a productivity tool for industrial hygiene / worker exposure assessments.

Users with access to a Ranger monitor and Aeroqual Cloud Plus can use the Insights dashboard. If you’d like to know more about obtaining a license, please reach out to our Sales team.

Insights plots raw PM measurements, 8-hour Time-Weighted-Averages, and OSHA/ACIGH limits on the same chart. It also summarizes exposure details.

  1. From the Aeroqual Cloud home screen, click Manage Data.
    • From the Aeroqual Cloud home screen, click Manage Data.

  2. From the list of menus on the left-hand side, select Insights
    • From the list of menus on the left-hand side, select Insights

    • Note that Insights is only available for data sampled by Ranger instruments

  3. A chart is populated with raw PM values, 8-hour Time-Weighted-Averages, and OSHA/ACIGH limits
    • A chart is populated with raw PM values, 8-hour Time-Weighted-Averages, and OSHA/ACIGH limits

    • The OSHA limits are populated using PARTICULATES NOT OTHERWISE REGULATED, TOTAL AND RESPIRABLE DUST (PNOR)

    • The ACIGH limits are populated using Particles (insoluble or poorly soluble) Not Otherwise Specified (PNOS) from the 2022 TLVs and BEIs

  4. To hide a series from the chart, click on the series name above the chart
    • To hide a series from the chart, click on the series name above the chart

    • To unhide a series, click on the series name above the chart once more

    • Raw data averaging will not occur while the Averaging Period displays "Unfiltered Data"

  5. 8-hour time-weighted-averages (TWA) are calculated by summing all minute-by-minute samples taken between "From" and x-axis dates/times, and dividing the sum by 480 minutes
    • 8-hour time-weighted-averages (TWA) are calculated by summing all minute-by-minute samples taken between "From" and x-axis dates/times, and dividing the sum by 480 minutes

    • Take note wherever the 8-hour TWA exceeds a corresponding exposure limit

  6. A table appears on the right, summarizing the highest 8-hour TWA reached during the sampling period between "From" and "To" dates/times To visualize key data, hover your cursor above any 8-hour TWA value in the table
    • A table appears on the right, summarizing the highest 8-hour TWA reached during the sampling period between "From" and "To" dates/times

    • To visualize key data, hover your cursor above any 8-hour TWA value in the table

    • The chart will hide all series except those that correspond to the value

    • If any 8-hour TWA exceeds one or more corresponding limits, the cell will be colored red

    • If any 8-hour TWA exceeds 50% of one or more corresponding limits, the cell will be colored yellow

  7. To adjust the dates and times for which you wish to plot data, edit the value in the "From" and/or "To" fields Then click "Update"
    • To adjust the dates and times for which you wish to plot data, edit the value in the "From" and/or "To" fields

    • Then click "Update"

    • The chart and table are now updated using only data sampled in the period between the "From" and "To" dates/times

    • The 8-hour TWA's have been re-calculated
