ABSTRACT:
A method of generating a timestamp includes measuring a time period between two events, automatically determining a precision for an indication of the time period, and storing the timestamp. The precision for the indication of the time period is decreased as the time period increases. The timestamp includes an indication of the precision and the indication of the time period, wherein the indication of the time period in the timestamp is stored according to the automatically determined precision.
