|
Time stamp
|
6
|
UTC second when the report was generated by the EPFS (0-59 or 60 if time stamp is not available, which should also be the default value
or 61 if positioning system is in manual input mode or 62 if electronic position fixing system operates in estimated (dead reckoning) mode
or 63 if the positioning system is inoperative)
