  - setExpression
```
void setExpression(java.lang.String expr)
            throws java.rmi.RemoteException,
                   ApiException
```
    Sets the expression.
    
    Parameters:
    
    expr - the expression until which we are measuring
    
    Throws:
    
    java.rmi.RemoteException - remote communication problem
    
    ApiException - if the expr is null
  - setPrecedingIntervalLength
```
void setPrecedingIntervalLength(java.lang.String interval)
                         throws java.rmi.RemoteException,
                                ApiException
```
    sets a time which precedes the interval where the expression is true by the specified duration.
    
    Parameters:
    
    interval - the preceding interval
    
    Throws:
    
    java.rmi.RemoteException - remote communication problem
    
    ApiException - if the interval is null

```
java.lang.String getPrecedingIntervalLength()
                                     throws java.rmi.RemoteException
```
    The time which precedes the interval where the expression is true by the specified duration.
    
    Returns:
    
    the time which precedes the interval where the expression is true by the specified duration
    
    Throws:
    
    java.rmi.RemoteException - remote communication problem
