Description
Return sample timestamp after transport/processing delay correction.
Anesthesia-related research and training records require explicit clocks, missingness flags, exclusions and measurement references. These tools reconcile benign records, simulations or bench data; an acceptable local overlap or composition sum does not establish clinical adequacy or safe patient care. Censored observations provide bounds rather than observed event times.
Return sample timestamp after transport/processing delay correction.
When to use this tool
Use Anesthesia Monitor Sample Delay Offset when checking the stated benign record, simulation, timing or bench-measurement convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter sampleIndex, sampleHz, transportDelaySeconds, processingDelaySeconds. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read rawSeconds, correctedSeconds, totalDelaySeconds. Use the output convention below.
Return sample timestamp after transport/processing delay correction. Require nonnegative whole sampleIndex, sampleHz > 0 and delays >= 0; rawSeconds = index/rate, corrected subtracts both delays, totalDelay sums them.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| sampleIndex | Sample Index | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| sampleHz | Sample Hz | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| transportDelaySeconds | Transport Delay Seconds | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| processingDelaySeconds | Processing Delay Seconds | Required. Finite number. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| rawSeconds | Raw Seconds | Required. Finite number. |
| correctedSeconds | sampleIndex/sampleHz minus both delays; may be negative relative to recording origin. | Required. Finite number. |
| totalDelaySeconds | Total Delay Seconds | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Corrected time may precede recording origin; delays are supplied, not measured, and clinical signal timing is not validated.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use verified source records and appropriate complete analysis for research or quality review; seek qualified medical and engineering assessment for actual clinical care or equipment decisions.
