mittausajankohtaan

Mittausajankohtaan is the illative form of the Finnish compound mittausajankohta, which means the moment or point in time when a measurement is made. The base combines mittaus (measurement) and ajankohta (time point or moment). In Finnish grammar the illative case (ending -an) expresses direction toward or into something, so mittausajankohtaan translates roughly as “to the measurement moment.”

In practical use, mittausajankohtaan is employed to specify the time reference of data, actions, or analyses. It often appears in technical and scientific contexts to link data to the exact moment of collection or observation. For example, mittausajankohtaan liittyvät tiedot include timestamps and methods used during the measurement, enabling traceability and proper temporal alignment of data.

Examples of usage include statements such as: mittausajankohtaan liittyvät aikaleimat varmistavat ajoituksen; jokaiselle mittaukselle liitetään mittausajankohta ja sen aikaleima; dataa analysoidaan mittausajankohtaan nähden aikajanan kautta. The term is commonly used in fields such as environmental monitoring, engineering, clinical research, and any domain that requires precise temporal reference for measurements.

Mittausajankohtaan is a grammatical form rather than a separate technical concept; the corresponding noun mittausajankohta denotes the measurement moment, while mittausajankohtaan specifies direction toward that moment in a sentence. Related terms include aikaleima (timestamp) and ajantasainen aika (current time), which help situate measurements in time.
