German term

Laufzeit

German to English Tech/Engineering Metrology
Da die Wellengeschwindigkeit c in Luft bekannt ist, ergibt sich der Abstand s zwischen Sender und Reflektor gemäß s =  c t/2 aus der Laufzeit t des Wellenpakets.

Is this elapsed time, time evolution, progression when talking about a wave packet? The whole subject is measuring acoustic pressure maxima over time

travel time

Would this not be the case?

The time to go from the transmitter to the reflector and back (t) divided by 2 (so you only get one-way distance) times the speed in air equals the distance.

My thought.

'runtime' is more of a computer term from my experience.
