Class TaiUtcConverter

java.lang.Object

org.yamcs.utils.TaiUtcConverter

public class TaiUtcConverter
extends Object

Utility class to convert between TAI and UTC. It reads the UTC-TAI.history (available at http://hpiers.obspm.fr/eoppc/bul/bulc/UTC-TAI.history) It only supports added leap seconds not removed ones (negative leap seconds have never happened and probably never will). It only works correctly with the times after 1972 when the difference between TAI and UTC is an integer number of seconds. Most of the code is copied or inspired from the TAI C library http://cr.yp.to/libtai.html
