RE: Re[2]: why use 5 minute data collection in TS2000i

["etrader" <etrader@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jimmy,

Question:  If saving 5min data allows the charts
to come up faster when you open a workspace
containing 5min data, does it follow that the 5min
charts will update faster when plotting real time
data (ie. less cpu usage) ?

Thanks,
Bing
