6. Format of Selected Parameters

The absolute time parameter obeys the ISO8601 subset standard: it is set as a string of characters in the CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss format, where CC stands for the century, YY for the year, MM for the month and DD for the day. The T character separates date and time. hh represents hours, mm minutes and ss seconds.

Examples:

• 2013-05-31T13:20:00 – 31.5.2013 13:20

The duration parameter obeys the extended ISO8601 standard: it is set as a string of characters in the PnYnMnDTnHnMnS format, where nY stands for the year count, nM for the month count and nD for the day count. T is the date/time separator, nH gives the count of hours, nM gives the count of minutes and nS sets the count of seconds. n must be an integer. Maximum duration time is 1 hour.

Examples:

• PT60S           60 seconds
• PDT1H          1 hour
