Understanding time intervals
Learn how the generalized interval between two points in time is handled in Varicent ELT.
Throughout the application generalized time intervals are displayed, to describe approximately when an event occurred. Time is rounded to the nearest second, and the generalized interval between two points in time is calculated as the following:
Range | Interval |
|---|---|
0 to 44 seconds | A few seconds ago |
45 seconds to 89 seconds | A minute ago |
90 seconds to 44 minutes | 2 minutes ago … 44 minutes ago |
45 minutes to 89 minutes | An hour ago |
90 minutes to 21 hours | 2 hours ago … 21 hours ago |
22 hours to 35 hours | A day ago |
36 hours to 25 days | 2 days ago … 25 days ago |
26 days to 45 days | A month ago |
45 days to 319 days | 2 months ago … 10 months ago |
320 days to 547 days (1.5 years) | A year ago |
548 days + | 2 years ago … 20 years ago |
