+@ Some measurement hardware in use cannot guarantee delivery of at least one
+measurement per second. This causes problems for the current |ZoomLog|
+implementation as, for example, if there is no measurement at a time where
+the seconds are divisible by 5, there will be no entry in that view. This can
+result in situations where the |ZoomLog| at its default view of one measurement
+every 30 seconds might not display any data at all aside from the first
+measurement, the last measurement, and any measurement that happens to have an
+annotation associated with it. The solution in this case is to synthesize
+measurements so that the |ZoomLog| thinks it gets at least one measurement
+every second.
+
+The current approach simply replicates the last measurement every second until
+the time for the most recent measurement is reached, however it would likely be
+better to interpolate values between the two most recent real measurements as
+this would match the graphic representation rather than altering it when later
+reviewing the batch.

 @ New to \pn{} 1.4 is the concept of a current column set. This was added to
 improve support for devices where measurements on different data series may not
 arrive at exactly the same time and for multi-device configurations where
