I find that TIMACT (Fid: 5) always has a 0 value for millisecond (fieldEntry.time().millisecond()). Is the timestamp precision of EMA up to second? Thanks.

    Hi,

    TIMACT only goes to seconds from our main Elektron realtime feed so the precision you see will never be anything more than that. We use different format fields for milli and up to nano second. For example TIMACT_NS is the field to look for for up to nanosecond precision (not guaranteed to have that level if the source doesn't supply it).
