Bounding

The bounding option is available for delta and full retrieval modes. If the query specifies a start point, this option shows the first data point that occurs on or before the query start. If the query specifies an end point, this option shows the first data point that occurs on or after the query end. The actual date and time of the start/end point are shown, even if it's outside the bounds of the query.

The bounding option works similarly to bounding value retrieval mode, except that it is applied to other modes. For further details on bounding, including illustrations, see Bounding value retrieval.
