Method Detail

values

public static CcsdsTimeScale[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (CcsdsTimeScale c : CcsdsTimeScale.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static CcsdsTimeScale valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

parseDate

public AbsoluteDate parseDate(String date,
                              IERSConventions conventions,
                              AbsoluteDate missionReferenceDate)
                       throws OrekitException

Parse a date in this time scale.

Parameters:

date - a CCSDS date string.

conventions - IERS conventions for UT1 and GMST.

missionReferenceDate - epoch for MET and MRT.

Returns:

parsed date.

Throws:

OrekitException - if an AbsoluteDate cannot be created from date in this time scale.

getTimeScale

public abstract TimeScale getTimeScale(IERSConventions conventions)
                                throws OrekitException

Get the corresponding TimeScale.

Parameters:

conventions - IERS Conventions for the GMST and UT1 scales.

Returns:

the time scale.

Throws:

OrekitException - if the time scale cannot be constructed.

contains

public static boolean contains(String timeScale)

Check if timeScale is one of the values supported by this enum.

Parameters:

timeScale - specifier.

Returns:

true if valueOf(String) will not throw an exception with the same string.
