To make data files manageable, data is automatically captured in 15 minute segments - referred to as “missions.”

A job is comprised of one or more missions.

The duration of a job spans from the first mission’s start time to the last mission’s end time.

If a new mission’s start time occurs within 5 minutes of an existing job’s end time, the new mission will be added to the existing job (and the job duration is updated), otherwise a new job will be created.
