cdflib.computeEpoch16

Convert time value to CDF_EPOCH16 value

Syntax

epoch16 = cdflib.computeEpoch16(timeval)

epoch16 = cdflib.computeEpoch16(timeval) converts the time value specified by timeval into a CDF_EPOCH16 value.

timeval

10-by-1 time vector. The following table describes the time components. To specify multiple time values, use additional columns.

epoch16

CDF Epoch16 time value. If the input argument timeval has m-by-10 elements, the return value epoch16 will have size 2-by-m

Convert the time value into an CDF_EPOCH16 value:

timeval = [1999;12;31;23;59;59;50;100;500;999];
epoch16 = cdflib.computeEpoch16(timeval)

epoch16 =

   1.0e+10 *

    6.3114
    5.0101

This function corresponds to the CDF library C API routine computeEPOCH16.
To use this function, you must be familiar with the CDF C interface. You can access the CDF documentation at the CDF website.
