ISO8601 with local time zone reference timestamp that tells with which delta_time can be converted in timestamp. The reference timestamp is defined as the time when the actuator started acting on the sample.

Time differences to this timestamp when correlated signals such as diffraction pattern matching with a specific state of the sample (e.g. obtained temperature via the actuator) are reported through delta_time.

Time difference to start_time.

Collecting diffraction pattern also takes some time. It is assumed that the acquisition time for each pattern is substantial shorter than the time it takes the actuator to cause a change in stimulus (e.g. temperature).
