Running time (technology)
The runtime is a technical specification that indicates the time that has passed since the activation of a system or a plant .
The information can be specified more precisely:
- the time that has elapsed since the first activation; is also referred to as the total term
- the time that elapses between two defined points in time (e.g. from the start to the end of playback of a CD or a music track on it)
- the time that has elapsed since the last standstill; see uptime (or "clear duration"), opposite: downtime ("unclear duration")
- a statistically determined time that describes the service life of the system
The specification of the running times of a plant or system is of particular interest for its maintenance and is an indicator of the quality feature “reliability” of a unit.
