utc_time.m

%UTC_TIME - Get the System Time in UTC (Universal Time Convention)
% This is similar to GMT, but without Daylight Savings Time Adjustments. 
% UTC is the ANSI-C standard for time. Number of seconds since
% 1970 in UTC (NOT local time). Matlab time functions are all in local
% time.
%
% TM = UTC_TIME
%
% Input(s):
%  N/A
%
% Output(s):
%  TM - time value cast to double. This is not the same as a matlab serial
%  date number (date numbers are in units of days since 1-jan-0000 in local
%  time, TM is in units of seconds since 1-jan-1970 in UTC time not the
%  local time zone).
