loggers in the graph are VL data loggers, where Tampered
means at least one logger is a VL data logger but has an
invalid checksum. Secure means each data logger is a VL
data logger and all data and graphs have valid checksums.
Not Secure means there are security problems, such as one
SP data logger shown in the graph, or one of the graphs or
logger files does not have a checksum.
