Description
rawDuration = end-start; activeDuration = rawDuration+clockCorrection-paused.
Training and research event times need synchronized origins, explicit clock corrections and stated boundary precision. A numeric response delay or overlap describes the supplied records and does not assess the quality or timing of emergency care.
rawDuration = end-start; activeDuration = rawDuration+clockCorrection-paused.
When to use this tool
Use Training Event Clock Pause Sign when checking a supplied simulation or research event-time convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter start, end, paused, clockCorrection. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read rawDuration, activeDuration. Use the output convention below.
Require end >= start, nonnegative paused and end-start+clockCorrection >= paused. rawDuration = end-start; activeDuration = rawDuration+clockCorrection-paused.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| start | Start | Required. Finite number. |
| end | End | Required. Finite number. |
| paused | Paused | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| clockCorrection | Clock Correction | Required. Finite number. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| rawDuration | Raw Duration | Required. Finite number. |
| activeDuration | Active Duration | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- All times share one unit. Clock correction is added to elapsed time; this training-record calculation is not a clinical response-time standard or live emergency guidance.
- 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 the original synchronized event records and appropriate professional protocols for clinical interpretation or live decisions.
