ACARS Messages – time-stamps

Salut encore takata,

Am catching up, currently only 40 hours behind in this plethora of mess ages...

Re the time-stamp on the ACARS warning/failure messages:

is it your understanding that the timing is to the nearest whole minute? For example, does a time-stamp of "0210" mean that the event was generated between 02:09:31 and 02:10:30 (inclusive)?

Up until I read one of your posts this week, I was assuming that a time-stamp of "0210" would mean that an event took place between 02:10:00 and 02:10:59 (inclusive).

On the off-chance that you spot this post, I would appreciate your clarifying this important (30-second) ambiguity.
