# Process

The **Process** section controls how collected measurements are shaped *before* they are sent to the cloud or distributed for use by other modules on the edge device. Here you decide whether to aggregate measurements into time buckets, resample to a fixed output resolution , and how interpolation between samples is done.

After data collection, an aggregation step can be applied to the raw measurements.

**Aggregation Type**: This defines the type of aggregation that should be applied. See the documentation page for[ aggregation](/management-portal/designer/assets/tags/process/aggregation.md).

**Output Resolution**: Setting this to a non-zero value enables an aggregation window. This defines how often a measurement is outputted, while the aggregation type defines the aggregation applied to the raw measurements collected in each window.

**Interpolation**: Interpolation defines how values are estimated **between** known samples. See the documentation [here](/management-portal/designer/assets/tags/process/interpolation.md).
