The Format option lets you select the time format of status duration:

• HoursMinutes

• Hours:Minutes

• Minutes

• Decimal Hours

Minutes

The usual format calculates the time in minutes.

HoursMinutes

A format is calculated and presented in the form 0h 0m.

If the Write and execute tests to ensure software functions correctly and meets specified requirements issue in the Cycle Time calculation has a value of 95282m, then it is 1588h 2m in HoursMinutes format.

Hours:Minutes

The same as in the previous case, but without the letter designations following the numbers - 00:00.

If the Write and execute tests to ensure software functions correctly and meets specified requirements issue in the Cycle Time calculation has a value of 95282m, then it is 1588:02 in HoursMinutes format.

Decimal Hours

Decimal hours express time in a decimal format rather than the traditional hours, minutes, and seconds format. In this system, a day is divided into 24 hours, just like in the traditional system. However, each hour is divided into 100 decimal minutes, and each decimal minute is divided into 100 decimal seconds.

For example, in decimal hours:

1 hour is equal to 1.00

30 minutes is equal to 0.50 (half of an hour)

15 minutes is equal to 0.25 (a quarter of an hour)

45 minutes is equal to 0.75 (three-quarters of an hour)

This format is sometimes used in business and timekeeping for simplicity in calculations. It allows for easier addition and subtraction of time values, especially when dealing with fractions of an hour.

To convert 210h 22m to decimal hours, you can use the following formula:

Decimal Hours = Hours + (Minutes / 60)

Decimal Hours = 210 + (22 / 60)

Decimal Hours = 210 + 0.36666 (rounded to four decimal places)

Decimal Hours ≈ 210.38

So, 1588 hours 2 minutes equal 1,588.04 decimal hours.
