Hello,

If i am historizating a tag say every 3 hours but then I query the tag historization for that specific tag with a start and end date of 1 hr would I not get any values since its being historization at a rate of every 3 hours? Or would it interpolate and still give me a value for date ranges less than an 3 hours

This depends on a lot of factors, including how the tag is set up for storage and how you are querying for data, but _generally_ the answer is that you will get an interpolated value.
