033 * Note: The class description below has been excerpted from the Hl7 2.4 documentation. Sectional
034 * references made below also refer to the same documentation.
035 *
036 * Format: HH[MM[SS[.S[S[S[S]]]]]][+/-ZZZZ]
037 * In prior versions of HL7, this data type was always specified to be in the
038 * format HHMM[SS[.SSSS]][+/-ZZZZ] using a 24 hour clock notation. In the
039 * current and future versions, the precision of a time may be expressed by
040 * limiting the number of digits used with the format specification as shown
041 * above. By site-specific agreement, HHMM[SS[.SSSS]][+/-ZZZZ] may be used where
042 * backward compatibility must be maintained.
043 * Thus, HH is used to specify a precision of "hour," HHMM is used to specify a
044 * precision of "minute," HHMMSS is used to specify a precision of seconds, and
045 * HHMMSS.SSSS is used to specify a precision of ten-thousandths of a second.
046 * In each of these cases, the time zone is an optional component. The fractional
047 * seconds could be sent by a transmitter who requires greater precision than whole
048 * seconds. Fractional representations of minutes, hours or other higher-order units
049 * of time are not permitted.
050 * Note: The time zone [+/-ZZZZ], when used, is restricted to legally-defined time zones
051 * and is represented in HHMM format.
052 * The time zone of the sender may be sent optionally as an offset from the coordinated
053 * universal time (previously known as Greenwich Mean Time). Where the time zone
054 * is not present in a particular TM field but is included as part of the date/time
055 * field in the MSH segment, the MSH value will be used as the default time zone.
056 * Otherwise, the time is understood to refer to the local time of the sender.
057 * Midnight is represented as 0000.
058 * Examples:|235959+1100| 1 second before midnight in a time zone eleven hours
059 * ahead of Universal Coordinated Time (i.e., east of Greenwich).
060 * |0800| Eight AM, local time of the sender.
061 * |093544.2312| 44.2312 seconds after Nine thirty-five AM, local time of sender.
062 * |13| 1pm (with a precision of hours), local time of sender.
