While eSignal, IQFEED, and other realtime feeds send every trade (tick) along with associated bid & ask, Some Brokers send what they call "snapshot" quotes every 300ms in active markets. The pricing data is a compressed snapshot of all trades that occurred within that 300ms (3/10ths of a second). So if 5 ticks occurred very close together, they might all be sent in as a single snapshot quote, with Investor/RT in turn treating it as a single tick or trade. This certainly effects something like a tickbar charts that rely on the number of trades to form its bars.

Periodically, market data servers send Investor/RT a time of day notification to ensure that the user's computer clock is in sync with the server. When the time of day sent by the server, which we consider authoritative, is offset more than a second or two from the current time of day on your computer clock, this message will appear. It indicates a condition that should be corrected. It is important that your computer clock be set to the exact hour/minute/second every day.

A Group is simply a named collection of objects and (possibly) other groups, called subgroups. Objects are things you work with in Investor/RT, e.g. charts, quotepages, scans, signals, custom indicators, preset, etc. Groups give the Investor/RT user a facility for organizing collections of objects into named categories and subcategories. Instead of going through a list of 200 chart names looking for the one you want, you can setup one or more groups with appropriate names to hold shorter lists of charts.
