Description

Provides access to the properties and methods used in defining a sensor object.

Public Methods

GetStarsInFOV	Returns celestial bodies within the sensor's field of view.
IsRefractionTypeSupported	Gets a value indicating whether the specified type can be used.
ResetAzElMask	Reset the az-el mask.
SetAzElMask	Set the az-el mask type, using the AgEAzElMaskType enumeration.
SetAzElMaskFile	Path and file name of az-el mask file.
SetLocationType	Set the sensor's location type, a member of the AgESnLocation enumeration.
SetPatternType	Sets the pattern type.
SetPointingExternalFile	Set the external pointing type.
SetPointingType	Method to set the sensor's pointing type, using the AgESnPointing enumeration. Note: you cannot specify the eSnPtExternal enumeration using this method. To set sensor pointing using an external file, you must use the SetPointingExternalFile method.

Public Properties

AccessConstraints	Get constraints imposed on the sensor.
AzElMask	Get the az-el mask.
AzElMaskData	Get az-el mask data for the sensor.
ChainAnalysisOptions	Get the sensor's chain analysis options.
CommonTasks	Returns an interface that exposes common tasks.
DetectorPitch	Detector pitch used in defining senor resolution. Uses SmallDistanceUnit Dimension.
FocalLength	Focal length used in defining sensor resolution. Uses SmallDistanceUnit Dimension.
Graphics	Get the 2D Graphics properties for the sensor.
LocationData	Get location data for the sensor. The sensor's center point is invalid; all other points are valid choices for the location data.
LocationType	The location type being used by the sensor.
Pattern	Get data defining the sensor pattern.
PatternType	Criterion for defining the sensor pattern. A member of the AgESnPattern enumeration.
Pointing	Get pointing data for the sensor.
PointingType	The sensor's pointing type. A member of the AgESnPointing enumeration.
Refraction	Refraction method, a member of the AgESnRefractionType enumeration.
RefractionModel	Gets a refraction model.
RefractionSupportedTypes	Returns an array of valid choices.
Swath	Get the sensor's swath.
UseRefractionInAccess	Flag controls whether refraction is applied when computing relative position in Access.
VO	Get the 3D Graphics properties for the sensor.

Example

Attach a Sensor Object to a Vehicle

[MATLAB]

% IAgSatellite satellite: Satellite object
sensor = satellite.Children.New('eSensor', 'MySensor');

Set Sensor Properties

[MATLAB]

% IAgSensor sensor: Sensor object
% Change pattern and set
sensor.CommonTasks.SetPatternRectangular(20, 25);
% Change pointing and set
sensor.CommonTasks.SetPointingFixedAzEl(90, 60, 'eAzElAboutBoresightRotate');
% Change location and set
sensor.SetLocationType('eSnFixed');
sensor.LocationData.AssignCartesian(-.0004, -.0004, .004);

Set a Targeted Sensor

[MATLAB]

% IAgSensor sensor: Sensor object
sensor.CommonTasks.SetPointingTargetedTracking('eTrackModeTranspond', 'eBoresightRotate', '*/AreaTarget/MyAreaTarget');

Sensor Body Mask

[MATLAB]

% IAgSensor sensor: Sensor object
sensor.SetAzElMaskFile('C:\Program Files\AGI\STK_ODTK 13\Data\Resources\stktraining\text\BodyMask_hga.bmsk');
