Post From: SC Real Time data when connected to IB

I have two instances of SC. One instance per 2 computers. One instance using SC order routing and one instance using IB on Windows 10 with SC Real-time data.

During the day, on the IB Windows 10 computer, chart data seems to be updated with IB data instead of SC real-time data. Comparing the two instances, the IB computer becomes inaccurate at times. (I'm using number of trades per bar and do understand IB data is often inaccurate and that is why I am attempting to use SC real-time data with IB routing)

I can tell the discrepancy because of two observations:
1) If I delete all data and download, accurate SC data fills the chart and compares exactly to the other instance and
2) My other instance only uses SC for charting and order routing and is accurate all the time.

How do I get my IB instance to fill with SC real-time data without having to delete all data and download?

Is there an incorrect setting or possibly another data option?

IB is functioning properly... orders get submitted correctly. It is a data accuracy issue.

I do have "Allow support for sierra chart data feeds" checked.
I have tried both true and false for "Record True Real-Time Data in Intraday charts" It made no difference.
