Using Own Data as Baseline
The major purpose of this feature is to compare your own data with other measurement data. But, it also enables you to display charts for standard data, which are associated to a specific technology.

Setting a baseline requires a license for advanced features. See Licensing Requirements for more information. |
By doing so, you could perform analysis by identifying any variances from the plotted charts, aiming towards achieving standardization in your measurements.
Before we understand how to overlay our own data on a plotted Histogram chart, consider the following chart plotted for one of the measurements associated with e2e-iris. The chart shows the sepal_length distribution measurements plotted for e2e-iris dataset.
To superimpose this standard plotting on another chart for the purpose of comparison, you must modify the configuration of the dataset, which contains the respective measurement field. See Configuring a Dataset to access the configuration options of a dataset.
In the following example, the configuration options are displayed for the dataset named e2e-iris.
- To link one or more measurement fields in a dataset to custom baseline data, click the cell in the Baseline column corresponding to a measurement row (such as, sepal_width as shown above).
- From the drop-down menu, select Use my own data.
- From the Choose a dataset drop-down menu, choose the dataset that contains the measurement data, which you wish to set as baseline.
- From the Choose a field drop-down menu, choose the measurement field, which you wish to superimpose on the measurement data of the dataset.
- Click SAVE to apply the changes.
- Repeat steps 1 to 5 to link other measurement fields in the dataset with the same or another measurement data.
- Proceed to view the plotted measurement data, which has been linked to the measurement data. Click to select the chart and hover over the chart to see baseline / measurement values. Refer to Plotting Data with Histogram Charts.
