Time can be presented in the following units: second (s), minute (min), hour (h), day (d) year (a)
- 1 minute = 60 seconds
- 1 hour = 60 minutes
- 1 day = 24 hours
- 1 year = 365 days
Examples:
t1: Real = 10.0 [s] {:>> unit = "s"; :>> range = "20..50";}
t2: Real = 10.0 [min] {:>> unit = "min"; :>> range = "20..50";}
Date is represented in the representation from ISO 8601. This leads to the following representations:
| Format according to ISO 8601 | Value ranges |
|---|---|
| Year (Y) | YYYY, four-digit, abbreviated to two-digit |
| Month (M) | MM, 01 to 12 |
| Week (W) | WW, 01 to 53 |
| Day (D) | DD, day of the month, 1 to 31 |
| Hour (h) | hh, 00 to 23, 24:00:00 as the end time |
| Minute (m) | mm, 00 to 59 |
| Second (s) | ss, 00 to 59 |
| Decimal fraction (f) | Fractions of seconds, any degree of accuracy |
(see https://www.ionos.com/digitalguide/websites/web-development/iso-8601/)
The following date representations are supported:
| Description | Unit | Format | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| only dates without time | Date | YYYY-MM-DD | 2021-12-31 |
| dates with only month and year | Month | YYYY-MM | 2021-12 |
| only year without date | Year | YYYY | 2021 |
| dates with time | DateTime | YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss | 2021-12-31T12:00:00 |
| dates with time and timezone | DateTime | YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss+hh:mm | 2021-12-31T12:00:00+3:00 |
Some notes:
- If no timezone is defined, the UTC timezone is used
- The explicit notation of time zones always specifies the difference to UTC
