SET SCHEDULE TIME FORMAT @picture
The default time system used when displaying the epochs associated with a
schedule is called CALET for Calendar Ephemeris Time. This format provides a
calendar format for epochs relative to Barycentric Dynamical Time. This
format has the advantage that no knowledge of leapseconds is required in the
interpretation of epochs. However, it may not be the format you want to see
in schedule reports.
To change the format used when displaying the epochs of a schedule use issue the command:
SET SCHEDULE TIME FORMAT @picturewhere the ``picture'' is either a sample of how you would like epochs to be displayed or a detailed format created using the rules spelled out in the chapter ``About Time Formats.''
A sample picture might look like this:
SET SCHEDULE TIME FORMAT 11:15 A.M. PST Mon Nov 16, 1998;A detailed format specification corresponding to the sample looks like this
SET SCHEDULE TIME FORMAT AP:MN AMPM PST Wkd Mon DD, YYYY ::UTC-8;
Suppose that the schedule MONDAYS contains the intervals of the standard work
day at JPL for Mondays of November 1998, if we change the time format as
shown
SET SCHEDULE TIME FORMAT 11:15 A.M. PST Mon Nov 16, 1998;
SET DURATION UNITS HOURS;
endliteral
then the display of the schedule MONDAYS will look like this:
\literal
Percy> show schedule mondays;
Intervals in MONDAYS
Interval Start Time Duration
Stop Time (hours)
