Time-interval inputs define intervals for collecting or calculating values during a time period. For example, you might specify a 60-minute interval to compute an hourly average over a 12-hour period. To specify time-interval inputs, enter a valid value and time unit that is either positive or negative.
Positive values
Positive values define intervals that begin at the earlier time in the period and that finish at or before the later time in the period.
