You can put events with subsecond timestamps in the snapshot and data archive using piconfig. The Time attribute has the format
DD-MMM-YY hh:mm:ss.sssss
The Timenum attribute is the equivalent floating point representation of the time in number of seconds past January 1, 1970 00:00:00.0000. The archive preserves the timestamp with accuracy of 15.25 microseconds.
The default time accuracy of five digits might compromise a subsecond timestamp. Use the sigd command to change the display to show six or seven digits before editing or deleting such events.
