Constructor Detail

OffsetModel

public OffsetModel(DateComponents start,
                   int mjdRef,
                   TimeOffset offset,
                   int slope)

Constructor for a linear offset model.

These models were used prior to 1972.

Parameters:

start - date of the offset start

mjdRef - reference date of the linear model as a modified julian day

offset - offset at reference date in seconds (TAI minus UTC)

slope - offset slope in nanoseconds per UTC second (TAI minus UTC / dUTC)

OffsetModel

public OffsetModel(DateComponents start,
                   int offset)

Constructor for a constant offset model.

These models are used since 1972.

Parameters:

start - date of the offset start

offset - offset at reference date in seconds (TAI minus UTC)

Method Detail

getStart

public DateComponents getStart()

Get the date of the offset start.

Returns:

date of the offset start

getMJDRef

public int getMJDRef()

Get the reference date of the linear model as a modified julian day.

reference date of the linear model as a modified julian day

getOffset

public TimeOffset getOffset()

Offset at reference date in seconds (TAI minus UTC).

Returns:

offset at reference date in seconds (TAI minus UTC)

getSlope

public int getSlope()

Offset slope in nanoseconds per UTC second (TAI minus UTC / dUTC).

Returns:

offset slope in nanoseconds per UTC second (TAI minus UTC / dUTC)
