System Time
The GPS Receiver is designed to allow you access to a very accurate system
clock that provides both date and time, to customize the clock for a local time
zone, to identify the exact time, to identify the accumulated time difference (in
seconds) between the GPS and UTC timelines, and to monitor and adjust for
leap second occurrences.
The following commands are provided to allow you to monitor and control the
system date and time.
