Time difference (to table ”Objects and data types
supported by the VLT”)
The data type
time difference
is a measure of time
in milliseconds.
Notation:
Time difference
Value range:
0
≤
i
≤
(2
32
-1) milliseconds [ms]
Coding:
The time is represented as a binary
32 bit value (4 bytes). The first
4 (MSB) bits are always zero (see
table below).
