Giorgio Cangioli (Dec 06 2019 at 08:57):I've been asked why some guides have examples of offset using low = -1 and others low = 1 to indicate 1 hour before the event .
-1 seems to me more logic :-), but the example in Datatype R1.1 indicates low = 1. (where DT R2 has the same example with low = -1).
I was wondering if it was just a never fixed typo in DT R1.1, or there is a different approach between R1 and R2.
Giorgio Cangioli (Dec 06 2019 at 09:02):...the funny thing is that the examples provided are always the same and they are those reported in the datatype description.. .
Frank Oemig (Dec 08 2019 at 11:19):Which datatype?
Giorgio Cangioli (Dec 08 2019 at 20:14):Event-Related Interval of Time (EIVL) specializes SXCM.
datatype R1.1 "For example: if the specification is "one hour before breakfast for 10 minutes" the offset's low boundary is 1 h and the offset's width is 10 min (consequently the offset's high boundary is 50 min)."
Datatype R2 “For example: if the specification is "one hour before breakfast for 10 minutes" the offset's low boundary is -1 h and the offset's width is 10 min (consequently the offset's high boundary is -50 min).”
Grahame Grieve (Dec 09 2019 at 04:37):it was deliberately changed as a clarification in R2
