AttCov FOMDefine

Define an attitude figure of merit object

Syntax

AttCov <AttFOMObjectPath> FOMDefine {Satisfaction | Limits | Definition} {FOMOption} <Parameters>

Description

The AttCov FOMDefine command allows you to specify the method by which the quality of attitude coverage is measured for the figure of merit, and to define the satisfaction criteria that will be applied to the figure of merit. A figure of merit allows you to evaluate the quality of attitude coverage with the selected set of assets.

Satisfaction

If Satisfaction is entered then valid values for {FOMOption} <Parameters> are:

  • On
  • Off
  • GreaterThan <Threshold>
  • AtLeast <Threshold>
  • Equal <Threshold>
  • AtMost <Threshold>

If Satisfaction is set to On, the graphics follow the general behavior for satisfaction graphics. If Satisfaction is set to Off, static graphics are covered by at least one asset at some point during the attitude coverage interval and Animation graphics are currently covered by at least one asset.

<Threshold> is the value that must be met if coverage is considered to be satisfied. Valid values for <Threshold> depend on the type of FOM. For example, for an Access Duration FOM the <Threshold> is entered in seconds.

Limits

Set the limits used in computing attitude coverage statistics. Valid values for Limits {Options} <Parameters> are described in the following table.

If entered, the Minimum and/or Maximum <Value> is entered in units appropriate to the FOM type. In general, Time values are entered in seconds, Angle values are entered in degrees, Angle Rate values are entered in degrees per second, Distance values are entered in Connect distance units, Velocity values are entered in Connect distance units per second.

{Options} <Parameters>Description
Use {On | Off}If On, limits the FOM values to a user-defined range for computing statistics. Only the values within the specified Minimum and Maximum limits will contribute to the statistical parameters.
Exclude {On | Off}If On, only FOM values that are outside of the specified Minimum and Maximum limits are used for computing statistics.
Minimum <Value>Enter the minimum limit of the FOM values used for computing statistics. The Minimum <Value> must be less or equal to the Maximum <Value>.
Maximum <Value>Enter the maximum limit of the FOM values used for computing statistics. The Maximum <Value> must be greater or equal to the Minimum <Value>.

Definition

If Definition is entered then the {FOMOption} <Parameters> can be:
