To get the full 30 days, you have to collect it off shift. I don't remember for sure, but I think 4pm Central time, things open up. Not sure what time in the morning they close it off for market hours. So, when I'm collecting data, if it's a large job, I'll do it sometime between Friday afternoon and early Monday morning, so as to mave the max time over the weekends.
