Detailed Description

Universal Time Object Implementation.

This is an encapsulation of the time. It provides the following operations on basic time.

• Construction of a UTO from piece parts, and extraction of the piece parts from a UTO. The piece parts are the readonly attributes : time inaccuracy time displacement factor structure with all the above.
• Comparison of time.
• Conversion from relative to absolute time, and conversion to an interval (TIO).

(

void

)

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

CosTime::UTO_ptr TAO_UTO::absolute_time

(

void

)

Absolute time = Relative time + Base time. ?? Find out more about the Base Time, UTC and Distributed Time Sync. Algos. [3

CosTime::TimeComparison TAO_UTO::compare_time	(	CosTime::ComparisonType	comparison_type,
		CosTime::UTO_ptr	uto
	)

Compares the time contained in the object with the time in the supplied uto according to the supplied comparison type.

TimeBase::InaccuracyT TAO_UTO::inaccuracy

(

void

)

[virtual]

For the readonly attribute <inaccuracy>.

CosTime::TIO_ptr TAO_UTO::interval

(

void

)

Returns a TIO object representing the error interval around the time value in the UTO.

TimeBase::TdfT TAO_UTO::tdf

(

void

)

[virtual]

For the readonly attribute <tdf>, which is the "time displacement factor".

TimeBase::TimeT TAO_UTO::time

(

void

)

[virtual]

For the readonly attribute <time>.

CosTime::TIO_ptr TAO_UTO::time_to_interval

(

CosTime::UTO_ptr

uto

)

Returns a TIO representing the time interval between the time in the object and the time in the UTO passed as a parameter. The interval returned is the interval between the mid-points of the two UTOs. Inaccuracies are ignored. Note the result of this operation is meaningless if the base times of UTOs are different.

TimeBase::UtcT TAO_UTO::utc_time

(

void

)

[virtual]

For the readonly attribute <utc_time>.

Member Data Documentation

TimeBase::UtcT TAO_UTO::attr_utc_time_ [private]

The readonly attribute structure having the time, inaccuracy and displacement. The get methods for other readonly attributes (time, inaccuracy, tdf) defined in the IDL use the members of this structure and hence need not have separate member variables for them.
