Define a boundary type

Specify a boundary type to determine how the Archive Editor tool searches for data values near the start and end times of the time or event range (see Define a time, event count or event range).

• Inside (default)

  Returns events at start and end times, if they exist, or the nearest events occurring within the range.

• Outside

  Returns the closest events occurring immediately outside the range.

• Interpolated

  Returns interpolated events at start and end times.

• Auto

  Interpolated, but using Inside behavior for tags with step attributes set on Windows-based Data Archive servers.
