The Simulator

The simulator is represented in the Browser and in the ODTK toolbar by the icon. Click this icon in the Browser to expose the following simulator properties:

Simulator Properties
Property	Description
SatelliteList	Specify a list of satellites for the simulator.
SurfaceVehicleList	Specify a list of surface vehicles for the simulator.
TrackingStrandList	Specify a list of tracking strands for the simulator.
EmitterList	Specify an emitter list for the simulator. (optional)
MeasTypes	Specify a list of measurement types (Range, Azimuth, etc.) for ODTK to use in measurement processing. An empty list is equivalent to including all measurement types.
Process Control	Set options related to start/restart, stop times, etc.
Restart	Configure restart behavior for the simulator.
CustomTrackingIntervals	Enables you to define inclusion and exclusion intervals and vary time step by facility and/or satellite.
ErrorModeling	Enables you to specify which of several available deviations are applied, as well as process noise.
ErrorScaling	Enables you to apply scaling factors to deviated attributes.
ForceSequencePositive	Enables you to steer the simulated stochastic sequences for some state parameters so as to keep the "total estimate" for that parameter positive.
UpdateFilterTimes	Set this to true to automatically set the filter time period to that of the simulated measurements.
Output	Enables you to specify type and destination of simulator output.
Event Controls	Enables you to apply scripts upon certain events.

You can also use the Simulation Wizard to set up the simulator.
