Now the TimeRules Natural and Periodic emit events to the Data PIPE in
case NATURAL: an event is received by one of the selected inputs
case PERIOD: when a certain timespan elapse.
Both method doesn't take into account that some input of the analyses are received later. So the input values of a certain calculation timestamp are different if you calculate them later (even when you configure no compression on all according attributes).
Pro:
It is very ease to transform high resolution data into low resolution data based on averages on a fixed timespan without loss of accuracy.
If the calculation becomes stale you have the insighed that some inputs become stale.
