Dear all,



May I ask the difference between TmStp and Clock Time in the property? What information is usually mapped by these two properties?



Thank you very much!

Hello,



Thank you for your question! The TmStp (timestamp) property refers to a date and time. Example of use is ‘Collection date and time’.

The ClockTime property is an observed time (example, 5 PM). Example of use is ‘Birth time’.

Lastly, the property Time refers to a duration (example, 10 minutes). Example of use might be ‘A wave duration by US’.
