Hi,

we are not really sure about the meaning of the parameter
currentUtcOffsetValid delivered by pmc GET TIME_PROPERTIES_DATA_SET.

For my understanding if currentUtcOffsetValid is 0, the ptp clock uses
an utc offset currentUtcOffset but is not sure whether this is the
current value issued by the IERS (International Earth Rotation and
Reference Systems Service). If the clock knows the current leap seconds
it gives currentUtcOffsetValid = 1.

And could you please acknowledge another conclusion I made in may tests
with ptp: No matter whether currentUtcOffsetValid is set or not,
currentUtcOffset is used in both cases to calculate utc from tai.

thank you very much,
Matthias
