Script Plugin Transmitter Model

The Script Plugin RF Transmitter model and the Script Plugin Laser Transmitter model allow you to use external scripts -- such as MATLAB, VBScript and Perl scripts -- to define transmitters 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.

To load the desired script, enter its path and file name in the Script Filename field or click the ellipsis (...) button and browse for it.

The plugin script is not automatically reloaded after you make changes to it. To reload the script, click Reload.
