  • Exact Time means that data is retrieved for the exact times when the filter condition(s) are true.

  • Before Time means that data is retrieved from the time of the last false filter condition(s) up until the time of the true condition for each filter.

  • After Time means that data is retrieved from the time of the true filter condition(s) up until the time of the next false condition for each filter.

  • Before and After Time means that data is retrieved from the time of the last false filter condition(s) up until the time of the next false condition for each filter.
