I tried your test, I got results that showed time was changing, see below. Also, I disconnected my network connection, and guess what, the trace kept on printing, line after line, with a new time stamp, never stopping. I was on an AAPL chart before I disconnected.
So the question is why is the chart refreshing multiple times per second when the network is unplugged, which rules out ticks, and when there is no interaction with the chart window?? test215723 Formulas\Drag-drop\DebugPlot 4.afl 4 20 21:57:23.89 test215724 Formulas\Drag-drop\DebugPlot 4.afl 4 20 21:57:24.89 test215725 Formulas\Drag-drop\DebugPlot 4.afl 4 20 21:57:25.89 test215726 Formulas\Drag-drop\DebugPlot 4.afl 4 20 21:57:26.89 --- In [email protected], "monitorit" <monito...@...> wrote: > > Hi, > Just a few thoughts from a non-pro ABer > 1.
