The retrieval mode - see Data Point Interval and the Retrieval Mode and Retrieval Mode Supported Objects
The time zone - see Time Zones
The start time and time span - see Time Criteria
The sampling interval - Sampling Interval
The data point interval - Data Point Interval and the Retrieval Mode
Fields to display - see Advanced items
