Hi Felix:

If you are dealing with realtime data, then I would create a bundle
that references "relative time".  After you "Add Selected Data", then
in the Field Selector, right click on the Data Source name, and choose
"Properties".  Then click the "subset" tab, and highlight the region
you want.

You can save the bundle at this point, or go all the way through
plotting (or whatever) the data....
