Spanish term or phrase: resolución de días/horas/minutos
Representaciones gráficas de la evolución de medidas respecto al tiempo (gráficos X-Y).

Se podrán representar los siguientes espacios temporales:
Un mes con resolución de días
Un día con resolución de horas
Una o varias horas con resolución de minutos

I think I understand what they are talking about, but don't get the use of "resolución" here, and, therefore, don't know how to translate it.

Thank you.

"intervals of days, etc." could be another option.

Resolution refers to the degree to which detail is visible, so the month is divided into days, a day is divided into hours, etc.
