==Data Playback Modes==
There are two Data Playback has two modes: '''Local''' and '''Global'''
When the '''Local''' mode is selected, the bars are played independently on each chart or scanner window, where the Data Playback feature has been is enabled. Each window will have its own starting point of the playback. When the playback is enabled on one window, other windows <br>Windows with Data Playback disabled will receive the real-time data from the data source.
When the '''Global''' mode is selected, all the data series on all opened windows of all the workspaces of one MultiCharts instance will be playedback. In this case the starting point of the playback will be the same for all charts and scanner windows.
