# ComparisonTolerance

The maximum amount of time (in seconds) before or after a SourceJobName snapshot that a SourceJobName2 snapshot must have been taken. Use this parameter when you are generating spectrograph data based on a comparison of two sets of snapshots.

Set `ComparisonTolerance` to `-1` if you do not want to set a time limit on the jobs that you compare. ClusterSGDataGen compares SourceJobName with the nearest SourceJobName2.

Actions: | ClusterSGDataGen
Type: | Long
Default: | -1
Example: | `ComparisonTolerance-3600` In this example, a SourceJobName2 snapshot must have a timestamp within `3600` seconds before or after a SourceJobName snapshot to compare the two jobs. If there is more than one SourceJobName2 snapshot in this time span, ClusterSGDataGen uses the one that is nearest to SourceJobName.
