Description

Use the TLESwitchMethod command to define when to switch between TLE sets, for SGP4 satellites. The SGP4 satellite must have more than one element set.

Use <ElSetNumber> to select the TLE element set. This value can be an integer value or All. If no <ElSetNumber> is entered then the switch method is set for All element sets.

If Override is entered then the "<OverrideTime>" must be entered, and <ElSetNumber> must be entered and can not be 1 or All.

"<OverrideTime>" is entered in Connect Date units and is only valid if Override is entered.

Disable can not be applied to All, an <ElSetNumber> must be entered. If all el sets have been disabled then the satellite will not be propagated.

TLESwitchMethod */Satellite/Satellite1 Epoch 2
