Property Value
DateTime
The
ObservationRecord contains two timestamp fields:
StartTime and
TimeTriggered. The StartTime is a required part of any Observation, whereas the
TimeTriggered is optional.
The
StartTime does not have to be the same as the trigger time and can therefore
be chosen more or less arbitrarily. For instance, you can choose to record the
StartTime as the timestamp of the first data point in the observation or the top
of an interval in which the data was captured. The trigger time field is more well defined,
essentially always representing the point in time at which the data source decided to capture
some data in the PQDIF file.
