Time Conversion Parameters
The basis for the time conversion is the UTC. The parameters of each of the navigation
standards are set as an offset to the UTC.
For better readability, the values of the time correction parameters are input as integer
in the same way as they are included in the satellite's navigation message. The corre-
sponding "Scale Factor" and the "Scaled Value" are also displayed.

Leap Second Configuration
The GPS time does not consider time corrections that are typical for the UTC, such as
the leap second for instance.
As of June 30, 2012, the value of the "Current Leap Second", is 16 seconds.
Parameter
Description
SCPI Command
"Synchronize"
Synchronizes the leap sec-
ond according to the simula-
tion time.
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:GNPR:NAVigation:
TCONversion:LEAP:SYNC
"Current Leap Seconds
(Ref. 1980)"
Displays the currently used
leap second.

UTC-UTC(SU)
(for GLONASS satellites)
The Universal Time Coordinate (UTC) as used for GPS and Galileo can have a phase
shift and a frequency drift compared to the Russian UTC basis (UTC(SU)). These set-
tings are provided for configuration of the UTC differences UTC - UTC(SU) as transmit-
ted by GLONASS satellites.
Parameter

"UTC(SU) Refer-
ence Date"
Indicates the UTC-UTC (SU) time conversion
reference date.
