Description
The VectorTool_R command can be used to return information about VectorTool components.
| {Option} | <Parameters> | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Exists | [Template] "<ComponentSpec>" | Returns a 1 if the specified "<ComponentSpec>" exists, otherwise 0 will be returned. Use the Template keyword if the component is a template. |
| Details | [Template] "<ComponentSpec>" [IncludeDescriptions] | Returns information about the component in a single string with newline characters. Use the Template keyword if the component is a template.
With the IncludeDescriptions keyword the component type description and user description, if available, will also be returned. Use the VectorTool_RM command to return information in a list of strings. |
| Status | "<ComponentSpec>" | Returns one of these strings
The Status option is not valid for a template. |
| ConvertSystem | "<FromSystemSpec>" "<ToSystemSpec>" {TimeInstant} <x> <y> <z> [<xv> <yv> <zv>] | Convert a position/velocity from one system to another at the specified time instant. <x>, <y>, and <z> values are entered in Connect distance units. <xv>, <yv>, and <zv> values are optional and if entered are in Connect distance units / second. |
| ConvertAxes | "<FromAxesSpec>" "<ToAxesSpec>" {TimeInstant} <x> <y> <z> [<xv> <yv> <zv>] | Convert a position/velocity from one axes to another at the specified time instant. <x>, <y>, and <z> values are entered in Connect distance units. <xv>, <yv>, and <zv> values are optional and if entered are in Connect distance units / second. |
For information on "<ComponentSpec>" formats see Component Specification.
For valid {TimeInstant} values see Time Options.
