Answer 1

Create a normal dataset and call it datasetHourly . Deactivate the option Use time as horizontal value . This is where we will store your hourly data.

Creat a cyclic event and set the trigger to cyclic, once every hour.

This cyclic event will get the current mean of your time measurement ( waiting time + service time in your example) and save this single value in the extra dataset. Also we have to clear the dataset that is integrated into the timeMeasurementEnd , in order to get clean statistics again for the next hour interval.

datasetHourly.add(time(HOUR),timeMeasureEnd.dataset.getYMean());
timeMeasureEnd.dataset.reset();

You can now visualise the hourly development by adding the hourlyDataset to a normal plot.
