TimeGPS
(val1, val2, scale, precision, in_subfmt, out_subfmt, from_jd=False)[source] [edit on github]¶ Bases:
astropy.time.TimeFromEpoch
GPS time: seconds from 1980-01-06 00:00:00 UTC For example, 630720013.0 is midnight on January 1, 2000.
Notes
This implementation is strictly a representation of the number of seconds (including leap seconds) since midnight UTC on 1980-01-06. GPS can also be considered as a time scale which is ahead of TAI by a fixed offset (to within about 100 nanoseconds).

set_jds
(val1, val2) [edit on github]¶ Initialize the internal jd1 and jd2 attributes given val1 and val2. For an TimeFromEpoch subclass like TimeUnix these will be floats giving the effective seconds since an epoch time (e.g. 1970-01-01 00:00:00).
-
to_value
(parent=None) [edit on github]¶ Return time representation from internal jd1 and jd2. This is the base method that ignores
parent
and requires that subclasses implement thevalue
property. Subclasses that requireparent
or have other optional args forto_value
should compute and return the value directly.
