Average current

average current calculations will continue. Number of measurements will be fixed at 30 days, shifting out the oldest
values as new ones are added.
Peak current
Every minute, the peak value and the load current are compared. If the load current is higher than the peak current the
peak current is updated to the latest value of the load current.
Duration
The duration is updated every minute. Duration is presented as days, hours and minutes. Maximum logging period is 30
days. When this limit is reached, the average and peak current calculations will continue, but number of measurements
in the calculation will be kept to the last 30 days, shifting out the oldest measuring values as new ones are added.
