A method of automatically learning how multiple devices are directly or indirectly linked in a monitoring system, comprises determining configuration parameters for the multiple devices in said system, receiving data measured by the devices, and grouping the devices into multiple segments according to at least one type of information selected from the group consisting of configuration parameters and data measured by said devices. Potential relationships of the devices in each segment are determined according to at least one type of information selected from the group consisting of configuration parameters and data measured by the devices, the hierarchies of the devices within individual segments are determined, and the hierarchies of the top-most device or devices in the segments are determined.
A method of automatically learning how multiple devices are directly or indirectly linked in a monitoring system, comprising:
The method of claim 7 which includes determining the hierarchy of said multiple devices in said power monitoring system from said hierarchies of said multiple segments and said top-most devices.
The method of claim 7 in which one or more of said segments contains multiple devices at the same hierarchical point, and all said devices at the same hierarchical point are included in said hierarchy of said multiple devices in said power monitoring system.
A method of automatically positioning devices with similar characteristics in a hierarchical representation of multiple devices in a monitoring system, comprising:
11-29. (canceled)
A method of evaluating proposed modifications to a hierarchical representation of multiple devices in a monitoring system, comprising:
