  "term": "Offset time",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A specific time delay intentionally introduced into a system to shift the timing of a signal or event relative to a reference point. In digital communications, it is used to synchronize data streams or to manage the timing of signals arriving from different paths to prevent interference. The value is precisely controlled and can be fixed or dynamically adjusted, measured in units such as nanoseconds or microseconds.",
