NCIt definition : A quantity of time that should elapse between when an activity is ready for execution
and the actual beginning of the execution.;
Alternative definition : BRIDG 3.0.3: A quantity of time that should elapse between when an activity is ready
for execution and the actual beginning of the execution. EXAMPLE(S): Take a blood
sample 15 minutes after administration of study drug or measure blood glucose 2 hours
after each meal, the pauseQuantity would be 15 minutes and 2 hours respectively. NOTE(S):
The pauseQuantity defines the amount of time between two points in time: (1) the point
when all preceding steps (in sequence) and preconditions of an activity have been
completed, and (2) the actual start of the activity. The completion of all pre-conditions
and preceding steps (based on sequence number) indicates that an activity is ready
for execution according to the definition above. The pauseQuantity counter or timeclock
starts then, and when the full amount of time is reached, the activity begins. A pauseQuantity
with a negative value means that the activity starts some amount of time prior to
the estimated time that the activity is ready for execution, i.e. prior to the estimated
time that the pre-conditions and preceding steps will be completed.;
