No. Say you give it 1000 at 10:35 and 2000 at 10:45. It wants to store a value at 10:40, so you'll probably end up with a value of 1500 at 10:40. You're not giving it a value for a bin, you're giving it a value at a particular instant. From that it interpolates to figure out what the value would have been at the correct update time. It's very fussy about getting the updates exactly when they're supposed to come. If you throw them in whenever, don't expect to be able to get back anything except approximations of what you put in. >Now suppose I add another value (2000) at 10:37.
