Axes Choose Axes

Reports the orientation and angular velocity of the selected set of axes relative to a chosen reference set of axes. The selected set of axes can be selected from any axes in the Vector Geometry Tool owned by the object; the reference axes may be chosen from any axes in the Vector Geometry Tool.

Available for these objects: Access, Aircraft, Antenna, AreaTarget, Facility, GroundVehicle, LaunchVehicle, LineTarget, Missile, Place, Planet, Radar, Receiver, Satellite, SatelliteCollection, Scenario, Sensor, Ship, Star, Target, Transmitter

Type: Time-varying data.

Availability: Reports | Graphs | Dynamic Displays | Strip Charts
