    • getStartTime

      public long getStartTime()
      Returns the start time of the ASDI message feed. See setStartTime(long) for details.
      Returns:

    • setStartTime

      public void setStartTime(long aStartTime)
      Sets the start time of the ASDI message feed.

      The start time is used to create absolute times from the relative time info in the ASDI messages. For instance, ASDI messages come with a header containing message day, hour, minute and second, but no absolute date. The start time is used to create absolute messages times.

      If no start time is set, the current time is used as start time.

      Parameters:
      aStartTime - the start time of the ASDI message feed, it is specified as a value in milliseconds since 1970, similar to Date.getTime(). Set -1 to use now as the start time.
