Time systems: Toe vs Toc¶
Toe¶
Toe is the time of ephemeris: the reference time for the orbit parameters.
In the API it is represented as:
- week (system week number)
- toe (seconds-of-week)
Toc¶
Toc is the clock data reference time: the reference time for the SV clock parameters (af0, af1, af2).
In the API it is represented as:
- toc_week
- toc (seconds-of-week)
Why both matter¶
- Orbit propagation uses Toe.
- Clock correction uses Toc.
