Post From: how does Sierra handle long timeframe bars into short time frame bars?

Hi. I need to replicate an indicator from my old system -an average of ADX(5) of different periodicities. The formula is (ADX 15m + ADX 30m + ADX 60m)/3. The first step in this formula is determining how Sierra handles bigger frames into smaller frames. (ex hourly into 15m.)

My old system expands bigger into smaller frames by preserving higher frame's previous
values throughout the matching lower frame's bars except the last
lower frame bar where it finally takes on the higher frame's value. Here is example.

60m ADX
8-9am 16
9-10am 20
10-11 21

If I were to plot the 60m ADX on 15m, old system would plot is as
8:45- 9:00 16
9:00- 9:15 16
9:15- 9:30 16
9:30- 9:45 16
9:45- 10:00 20
10:00- 10:15 20
10:15- 10:30 20
10:30- 10:45 20
10:45- 11:00 21

Can you please guide me as to what functions in ACSIL is available to achieve above? Thanks.
