Stamp
Stamps contain trigger timing information used for synchronizing a PLC's actions. A PLC can also use this
information to match up data from multiple Gocator sensors.
In Profile mode, the stamps are updated after each profile is processed. In Surface mode, the stamps
are updated after each surface has been processed.
