xtce:Encoding 

Scale and offset are used in a y =mx +b type relationship (m is the scale and b is the offset) to make adjustmets to the encoded value to that it matches the time units.  Binary Encoded time is typically used with a user supplied transform algorithm to convert time data formats that are too difficult to describe in XTCE.
