Script Plugin Receiver Model

The Script Plugin RF Receiver model and the Script Plugin Laser Receiver model allow you to use external scripts -- such as MATLAB, VBScript and Perl scripts -- to define receivers for use in your communications link analyses. STK polls the script at each time step of the simulation and obtains the model parameters. The model can accommodate dynamic system parameters whose values can change as a function of time or other factors.

For further information on scripting in STK, see the Engine Plugin Scripts topic in the Programming Interface Help, which is accessible from the Help menu. For instructions on the setup and use of plugin points, see Plugin Scripts. To develop a custom script from a sample template, select the appropriate sample plugin script, in MATLAB, Perl, or VBScript, from <STK install folder>\CodeSamples\Extend\PluginScripts.
