Data compression interval start time

The data compression time interval begin time is based on the X-axis pre-set start date and time.

Example

Your X-axis start time is set to begin at 10:15AM (5-25-02)

You have specified 5 minutes as the length of each interval.

The first interval:

Start time=10:15AM (5-25-02)
