special relativity - Confusion on Proper time and Proper Length


so I've been looking at special relativity and I have interpretations of the notions of proper length and proper time. Suppose there are two frames S and S'. S' is moving with respect to S. Therefore;


Proper Time is measured by S' Proper Length is measured by S


This is, at least, my way of understanding these two concepts. Is it correct? Thanks
