LEAP SECOND STATUS<br />

This command polls the receiver for leap second status infomation decoded from<br />

the Navigation Data message. The output response provides specific date and time<br />

information pertaining to any future leap second addition or subtraction. Present<br />

and future leap second values are also output rounded to the nearest integer value.<br />

This command has only a polled response, thus it must be requested each time leap<br />

second information is desired.<br />

Leap seconds are occasionally inserted in UTC and generally occur on midnight<br />

UTC June 30 or midnight UTC December 31. The GPS control segment typically<br />

notifies GPS users of pending leap second insertions to UTC several weeks before<br />

the event.<br />

When a leap second is inserted, the time of day will show a value of 60 in the<br />

seconds field. When a leap second is removed, the date will roll over at 58 seconds.<br />
