English to Italian Tech/Engineering Engineering (general)

Come tradurreste "timing" nel seguente contesto? E' un termine che può essere tradotto in vari modi e quando lo trovo nei testi non so mai come procedere.

"Signals may be relayed between verification element 8 and control system 14 on a continuous, temporary, or intermittent basis. If the signals are intermittently or temporarily transmitted, the *timing* may be at regular, spaced-apart intervals, or may be irregular, for example, increasing in frequency as the verification element approaches reference marker 2."


Grazie !
