 If $\mathit{intervalCounter}$ is a clocked component expression it must be greater than zero.
 The result is of base type \lstinline!Clock! that ticks when \lstinline!time! becomes $t_{\mathrm{start}}$, $t_{\mathrm{start}} + \mathit{interval}_{1}$, $t_{\mathrm{start}} + \mathit{interval}_{1} + \mathit{interval}_{2}$, \@\ldots{}
 The clock starts at the start of the simulation $t_{\mathrm{start}}$ or when the controller is switched on.
-At the start of the simulation, \lstinline!previous($\mathit{intervalCounter}$)! = \lstinline!$\mathit{intervalCounter}$.start! and the clocks ticks the first time.
 At the first clock tick $\mathit{intervalCounter}$ must be computed and the second clock tick is then triggered at $\mathit{interval}_{1} = \mathit{intervalCounter}/\mathit{resolution}$.
 At the second clock tick at time $t_{\mathrm{start}} + \mathit{interval}_{1}$, a new value for $\mathit{intervalCounter}$ must be computed and the next clock tick is scheduled at $\mathit{interval}_{2} = \mathit{intervalCounter}/\mathit{resolution}$, and so on.

 This operator returns the interval between the previous and present tick of the clock of the expression, in which this operator is called.
 The optional argument $u$ is only used for clock inference, see \cref{clock-partitioning}.
 At the first tick of the clock the following is returned:
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item If the specified clock interval is a parameter expression, this value is returned.
-\item Otherwise the start value of the variable specifying the interval is returned.
-\item For an event clock the additional \lstinline!startInterval! argument to the event clock constructor is returned.
-\end{enumerate}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item For a rational interval clock (\cref{modelica:clock-rational}): \lstinline!previous($\mathit{intervalCounter}$)!
+\item For a real interval clock (\cref{modelica:clock-interval}): \lstinline!previous($\mathit{interval}$)!
+\item For an event clock (\cref{modelica:clock-event}): $\mathit{startInterval}$
