As a Windows user I don't know what an "epoch time" is. Would it be better to use "Seconds Since Unix Epoch" or even better "Seconds Since 1.1.1970"? The time stamp example doesn't reflect the typical value and confuses the user with the "since beginning of capture" item, it might be much better to use something like "1234567890.123456" which reflects the typical value a user will see. Any reasons against these changes?
