English term or phrase: Calibration interval
A client asked to use "operation interval" instead of calibration interval.
Is it ok to use "operation interval"?

Thank you for your help.

Explanation:
Operation interval is the time between each operation, this means the length of time between one operation and the next operation. Calibration interval is the time between each calibration, this means the length of time between one calibration and the next calibration.
