You can set up a calculated indicator to record information about an asset condition that is not directly available from a measuring device on the asset. For example, you could set up a calculated indicator to measure the efficiency of a pump. Because this is difficult to measure directly, you can create a formula that uses other indicators on the pump that you can measure. You can set up numeric, cumulative, and descriptive indicators as calculated indicators. You can use data from other asset indicators or from APM objects as part of the calculation. The topics in this section explain how calculated indicators work and how to set them up.
