Plot Sensor Stability Diagnostics

plot_stability.Rd

Generates a time series plot of a single sensor parameter, highlighting stationary and stability states as identified by is_stationary() and TROLL_sensor_stable().

Usage

plot_stability(df, value_col_sym, value_flag_col, range_thresh)

Arguments

df

A data frame containing at minimum:

  • DateTime

  • the sensor column specified by value_col_sym

  • a logical stability column (value_flag_col)

  • is_stationary_status

value_col_sym

Unquoted name of the sensor column to plot.

value_flag_col

Character. Name of the logical column indicating stability (typically "<param>_stable").

range_thresh

Numeric. Range threshold used for stability detection. If NA, no threshold lines are drawn.

Value

The plot is printed.

Details

Observations are colored by profiling state:

  • "Sonde Moving": Sonde is in motion

  • "Unstable Stationary": Stationary but stability criteria not met

  • "Stable Stationary": Meets stability criteria

  • "Trimmed (Settling)": Removed from analysis due to settling time

If range_thresh is provided, horizontal dashed lines are drawn around the median value to visualize the allowable range threshold.

This function is primarily intended for diagnostic visualization during tuning of stability parameters.
