Description
The T&E Tool Kit Plugin must be installed in order to use this command.
The TE_TimeComponent command generates a time instance or interval on the STK Timeline. The time values are shown on the 3D Window.
Valid values for {Type} are ManualTimes, ManualIntervals, MetricIntervals, MetricInstance, and MultiMetric.
Name "<Name>" is the name of the time component. This parameter is required.
AnalysisObject "<Name>" is the name of the analysis object. This parameter is required.
The following table describes the parameters that are valid for any {Type}.
<Parameters> | Description |
---|---|
Label "<Label>" | The text for the label. |
Icon "<FilePath>" | The full file path of the icon. |
Annotation "<Text>" | The text for the annotation. |
The user must specify either an icon, label, or both. Annotation is optional.
The following table describes the parameters for the ManualTimes option.
<Parameters> | Description |
---|---|
ManualTimes <Time1>,<Time2> | Enter two comma separated times. |
The following table describes the parameters for the ManualIntervals option.
<Parameters> | Description |
---|---|
ManualIntervals <Time1>,<Time2> | Enter two comma separated times. |
Start {On | Off} | Default is On. |
Stop {On | Off} | Default is On. |
The following table describes the parameters for the MetricInstance option.
<Parameters> | Description |
---|---|
MetricInstance <Value> | Enter a value, unit. |
DataElement "<DataElement>" | The name of a data element for the <Value>. See below for format of <DataElement>. |
TimeConstraint <Constraint> | Enter the name of a time constraint. This parameter supports fully qualified names as well as just the middle word of the name. This parameter is optional. |
The following table describes the parameters for the Metric Interval option.
<Parameters> | Description |
---|---|
Metric Interval <Time1>,<Time2> | Enter a comma separated pair of values and a unit (value, value, unit). |
DataElement "<DataElement>" | Enter the name of the data element. The format for specifying <DataElement> is: "[<SourceName> |] <ShortName>". If the <ShortName> is enough to identify the element then just enter that. Otherwise, include the <SourceName> followed by the | (bar), before the <ShortName>. Refer to examples of each below. |
TimeConstraint <Constraint> | Enter the name of a time constraint. This parameter is optional. |
The following table describes the parameters for the MultiMetric option.
<Parameters> | Description | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
MultiMetric <Filter> A filter can consist of multiple Segments. |
| ||||||
Segment <Value> | Enter a segment value. Each segment requires a "DataElement" and "Limits" keyword. After the first segment, the 'Logic" keyword is required. |

Group membership
This command belongs to the following group(s):
You can use TETK Connect commands in TETK scenarios for pre-flight planning, post-flight analysis, and to support analysis workflows.
You should not use TETK Connect commands when real-time propagators are creating STK vehicles and using STK features instantaneously. The use of Connect commands in a real-time application requires more computational power than STK can support.
TETK functionality that is commonly referred to as "real-time" is actually an offline analysis mode. In this mode, an STK/TETK scenario is prepared with data that is streamed to a particular time in a mission. The post-flight analysis can be prepared again on demand throughout the mission for the data for each time of request. You can use TETK Connect commands in these scenarios.
