Attention!

For the following functions in the ATI DLL:

-int Last()
-int LastPlayback()

Is LastPlayback() the same thing as Last(), but with the overload to specify a timestamp? Otherwise are they the same thing? Thanks.

Anyone know? I would just test it myself, but I wouldn't be able to know if LastPlayback() is doing something else 'behind the scenes' that might be costing performance.

Hello,

Thanks for the reopen, seems your forum thread got closed on accident.

They are not quite the same as they are separate methods(Otherwise we would supply a Last() with an overload with DateTime).

You will want to use Last() when possible for live data moving forward.

Thanks Brett, so is there no way to feed timestamped data through the ATI DLL then? In other words, the timestamp must be added by NT itself (using the PC's clock)? Thanks.

Correct.

I will have it added to our suggestion list for next major release.
