SetConstraint (Sensor)
Set a constraint for a sensor
Syntax
SetConstraint <SensorObjectPath> {ConstraintName} <Parameters>
Related commands
Description
Caution should be exercised when turning a constraint Off, in that any previously set constraint values may be lost. These cannot be recovered when the constraint is subsequently turned On.
The SetConstraint command turns constraints for sensors On and Off, and also sets values for the constraints. The following Tables list valid values for {ConstraintName} as well as the values accepted for each. Only one constraint can be set with each SetConstraint command. All angle, latitude and longitude input values are entered in degrees.
Basic Constraints
Basic constraints for sensors vary according to the valid constraints for the parent object. Parent objects can be facilities, places, targets or vehicles. Visit Connect help for the SetConstraint (Facility, Place & Target), or the SetConstraint (Vehicles) commands for a complete list of valid basic constraints.
In addition to the constraints available for parent objects, the chart below summarizes sensor specific basic constraints.
| {ConstraintName} | <Parameters> |
|---|---|
| FieldOfView | {On | Off} [ExcludeIntervals | IncludeIntervals] |
| SensorAzElMask | {On | Off} [ExcludeIntervals | IncludeIntervals] |
Sun Constraints
Sun constraints for sensors vary according to the valid constraints for the parent object. Parent objects can be facilities, places, targets or vehicles. Visit Connect help for the SetConstraint (Vehicles) command for a complete list of valid sun constraints. In addition to the constraints available for parent objects, the chart below summarizes sensor specific sun constraints.
| {ConstraintName} | <Parameters> |
|---|---|
| BSSunExclusion | {Off | <Value1>} |
| SunSpecularExclusion | {Off | <Value1>} |
| BSLunarExclusion | {Off | <Value1>} |
Temporal Constraints
Temporal constraints for sensors vary according to the valid constraints for the parent object. Parent objects can be facilities, places, targets or vehicles. Visit Connect help for the SetConstraint (Vehicles) command for a complete list of valid temporal constraints.
Advanced Constraints
Advanced constraints for sensors vary according to the valid constraints for the parent object. Vehicles are the only parent objects that have advanced constraints available to them. Visit Connect help for the SetConstraint (Vehicles) command for a complete list of valid advanced constraints.
Zones Constraints
zones constraints for sensors vary according to the valid constraints for the parent object. Vehicles are the only parent objects that have zones constraints available to them. Visit Connect help for the SetConstraint (Vehicles) command for a complete list of available zones constraints.
Targeting Constraints
Targeting constraints for sensors vary according to the valid constraints for the parent object. Vehicles are the only parent objects that have targeting constraints available to them. Visit Connect help for the SetConstraint (Vehicles) command for a complete list of valid targeting constraints.
Vector Constraints
Vector constraints for radars vary according to the valid constraints for the parent object. Parent objects can be facilities, places, targets or vehicles. Visit Connect help for the SetConstraint (Vehicles) command for a complete list of valid vector constraints.
Special Constraints
Special constraints for sensors vary according to the valid constraints for the parent object. Parent objects can be facilities, places, targets or vehicles. Visit Connect help for the SetConstraint (Facility, Place & Target) and the SetConstraint (Vehicles) commands for a complete list of valid special constraints.
Resolution Constraints
| {ConstraintName} | <Parameters> |
|---|---|
| GroundSampleDistance | {Off | Min <Value1> [|] Max <Value2>} |
The GroundSampleDistance constraint applies to accesses where a facility, place, target or any type of vehicle is the other object.
Plugin Constraints
Plugin constraints for radars are identical to that of vehicles. Visit Connect help for the SetConstraint (Vehicles) command for help setting plugin constraints.
