A denotation for the time at which an event occurs. Timing marks may be used in constraints.
A timing mark is the time at which an event occurs.
A timing mark is shown as a tick mark (a short horizontal line) even with an event on a sequence diagram. The name of the timing mark is placed next to the tick mark and may be used in timing expressions. See Figure 14-281 for an example.
