(it can not "invent" data). So if you have 1-minute bars base time interval it will play 1-minute bars. On the other hand if you had tick or 5-second or 15 second database it will play them. To get 1-minute last bar "simulated" you would have base time interval of your database set to finer granularity say 15 second or 5 second or tick (depending on your data source capabilities) and you would need to collect some data (backfill). In bar reply window set "Step interval" to 5 second. It means that it will play all you have in your database (even ticks) with 5 second increments. If you were viewing chart in 1-minute bar mode you will see last bar "constructed" during 12 consecutive refreshes.
