Maximum time interval error
open-in-new
<p>Maximum time interval error (MTIE) is the maximum error committed by a clock under test in measuring a time interval for a given period of time. It is used to specify clock stability requirements in <a href="/facts/Telecommunications/vxoj1cxR">telecommunications</a> standards. MTIE measurements can be used to detect clock instability that can cause data loss on a communications channel. </p>
