Gateway HistoryRead-AtTime passed AVEVA's own interpolation through: live it
answered the previous value as Good at a stored NULL's own time, null + Bad at
a Good sample right after a NULL, a drifted 99.99999999944 for a stored 100,
and no Interpolated bit. It is now served from raw gateway reads and evaluated
with Sql.Common's AtTimeEvaluator, as the SQL backends do (Part 11 §6.5.4).
GatewayAtTimeReader: one <=1,024-row forward window read [first-1ms, last+1ms]
for the batch, a walk-back (density-seeded, x4 growth, whole-remainder shortcut,
bisects dense history) for the first time's prev, and an 18-row probe for the
last time's next; truncated window reads continue or jump with a density-sized
margin. All bounds whole ms; a row counts only strictly inside its request
(AVEVA's boundary row never a sample); Bad rows value-less (#690); never past
now + 1 day; strict-gateway ceiling learned (#691.3) without re-probing.
10 dense times = 1 read (exact) / 3 (interpolated); 10 hourly = 12.
Kill switch ServerHistorian:GatewayAtTimeFromRaw (default true; false = the
old AVEVA passthrough). Known limit: the wire carries no data type, so numeric
tags interpolate as Double (Boolean/integer nodes are not stepped/rounded as on
the SQL backends).
