This Unsigned32 (1..65535) field states the configured length, in minutes, of this measurement bin. Because this row is a closed, already-completed measurement interval kept in the CES-PM history table — a fixed, immutable snapshot of one specific past window, Duration is the denominator you need to turn any of the accompanying event or error counters into a rate (events per minute) for comparison against other bins of a different length. For example, a Duration of 15 on a History row means the counters in that row cover exactly a quarter hour, so 900 dropped frames in that row works out to roughly one drop per second on average.
