Hi Shyno,
In general, what's available is documented in the user's guide - although I admit there can sometimes be a lag after new features are added.
Anyway, in this particular case, the answer is no. You'll have to use "statically modified windows". You could also keep the current windows and increase the sampling time for just those two by running extra simulations.
Cheers,
Jerome
