Remarks

The timestamp represents the time at which the value of a metric was captured.

The timestamp is, in principle, optional, and a missing timestamp is represented by System.DateTime.MinValue. However, for many usages, the Sparkplug specification makes the presence of the timestamp mandatory in the Sparkplug data.
