The data below is from sensor values. Each cycle starts with Spword:0 and ends with SPword 8. How do i group these as cycle1,2,3 based on the SPword field.

The timedifference for all cycles is not same and also when i use transaction command am not able to name it as cycle 1,2.

Would it be more accurate to say that a cycle begins with SPWord = 0 and LineNumber = 1, and ends with SPWord = 8?

Also, can cycles overlap or will it always be

SPword=0 LineNumber=1

SPWord=8
SPWord=0
