PI Adapter for OPC UA should send the previous value when it has been with the same value for a long time

"This enhancement request proposes a solution to address the issue of data interpolation between two values far apart in time in adapter data collection.

The suggestion is to include the value right before the new data point, ensuring the fidelity of data evolution avoiding interpolation over long period of time which can cause issue when analysis the data through visualization of calculation. "

One example would be: A motor is off for a long time and its power is 0 then 10 days later the motor is turned on and the power goes to 200.

The behavior that we see is an interpolation from the value 0 that is 10 days ago to the 200 that is today. However the expected behavior would be to store a 0 right before the 200 to avoid this long interpolation.
