Reports
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Access AER | Reports azimuth, elevation, and range (AER) over time between access pairs in the strands of a Chain. The report is
organized into subsections, one subsection per pair. Each subsection reports over intervals that are the intersection of the pair's access intervals with the Chain's
complete access intervals.
The azimuth and elevation angles are reported with respect to a frame determined by the first object. The azimuth angle is the angle from the X axis (positive about the Z-axis) to the projection of the apparent relative position vector into the XY plane. The elevation is the angle of the apparent relative position vector from the XY plane, with positive angles being used when the vector has a negative Z component. When the first object is a Facility, Place, or Target, the XYZ frame is Topocentric (X aligned with North, Y aligned with East, and Z aligned with the detic nadir of the detic subpoint of the first object with respect to its central body). When the first object is a Satellite, Missile, or LaunchVehicle, the XYZ frame is CbiVVLH (inertial vehicle velocity local horizontal frame, with the Z axis aligned with the anti-radial direction and the X axis constrained toward the inertial velocity direction). When the first object is an Aircraft, GroundVehicle, or Ship, the XYZ frame is CbfVVLH (fixed vehicle velocity local horizontal frame, with the Z axis aligned with the anti-radial direction and the X axis constrained toward the central body fixed velocity direction) when the central body fixed velocity is not close to zero; when the velocity is close to zero, then the Topocentric frame is used. When the first object is a Sensor, then the frame is determined by its parent object as described above. |
| Access Data | Reports certain data, computed via the Access Tool, for a chain consisting of only two objects. The 'From-object' is the first object listed in the strand; the 'To-object' is the second object listed. Values are reported for each strand access interval that lies within the requested report intervals. |
| Angle Between | Reports the angle and ranges for each three object sub-strand of a Chain, as a function of time, for each strand access interval
that overlaps with the requested report time intervals.
The report is organized into sub-sections, where each subsection corresponds to a three object sub-strand of strands that complete the chain. If the data element "Strand Name" is not requested, then the sub-sections will be titled using the strand name and the three object sub-strand being reported. The report only computes data for strands consisting of at least three objects. |
| Base Object Data | Reports the number of accesses and a list of all objects having access from the base object for each strand that completes the Chain, as a function of time. The report is only valid for Chains consisting of two objects. |
| Bent Pipe Comm Link | This report provides link performance data for the uplink, downlink, and composite link as a function of time for a bent pipe communications system. |
| Complete Chain Access | Reports the time intervals for which the chain is completed. These intervals are computed by overlapping all the strand accesses. |
| Computed Strands | The Computed Strands report shows the number of valid strands and the truncated path names for all computed strands. The Chain must be computed for this report to have any data. |
| Digital Repeater Comm Link | This report combines all communications transmissions and receptions into one report. It is often used for communications analysis of chain objects. |
| Event Data |
Reports certain data at defined event times during each interval, for strands consisting of only two objects. Events are organized by section: (1) AOS (Acquisition Of Signal: start of interval); (2) LOS (Loss Of Signal: end of interval); (3) TME (Time of Max Elevation); and (4) TCA (Time of Closest Approach: time of minimum range). The 'From-object' is the first object listed in the strand; the 'To-object' is the second object listed. Values are reported for each strand access interval that lies within the requested report intervals. The azimuth and elevation angles are reported with respect to a frame determined by the first object. The azimuth angle is the angle from the X axis (positive about the Z-axis) to the projection of the apparent relative position vector into the XY plane. The elevation is the angle of the apparent relative position vector from the XY plane, with positive angles being used when the vector has a negative Z component. When the first object is a Facility, Place, or Target, the XYZ frame is Topocentric (X aligned with North, Y aligned with East, and Z aligned with the detic nadir of the detic subpoint of the first object with respect to its central body). When the first object is a Satellite, Missile, or LaunchVehicle, the XYZ frame is CbiVVLH (inertial vehicle velocity local horizontal frame, with the Z axis aligned with the anti-radial direction and the X axis constrained toward the inertial velocity direction). When the first object is an Aircraft, GroundVehicle, or Ship, the XYZ frame is CbfVVLH (fixed vehicle velocity local horizontal frame, with the Z axis aligned with the anti-radial direction and the X axis constrained toward the central body fixed velocity direction) when the central body fixed velocity is not close to zero; when the velocity is close to zero, then the Topocentric frame is used. When the first object is a Sensor, then the frame is determined by its parent object as described above. |
| Individual Object Access | Reports time intervals for each object in a Chain for which the object participates in a strand that completes the chain.
The report is organized into sub-sections, where each subsection corresponds to an object in the Chain. If the data element "Strand Name" is not requested, then the sub-sections will be titled using the object name. |
| Individual Strand Access | Reports time intervals for each strand in a Chain that completes the chain.
The report is organized into sub-sections, where each subsection corresponds to a strand in the Chain. If the data element "Strand Name" is not requested, then the sub-sections will be titled using the strand name. |
| Optimal Strand at Time | Reports the best optimal strand by name and metric value for the sampled times when optimal strands exist based on computed Chain accesses. |
| Optimal Strands by Time | The Optimal Strands by Time report shows the N best strands for each sample time with the value of the computed optimal metric for each strand. The Chain must be computed with the optimal path metric enabled for this report to have any data. |
| Time Ordered Access | Reports each strand access interval for a Chain consisting of just two objects. The time intervals are sorted using the start time of each strand access interval. |
| Valid Paths | These are the possible valid paths allowed by the Chain based on the specified Start and Stop objects and connections. All valid paths will start and stop with the Start and Stop objects, respectively, and all objects are reported as truncated paths. |

| Access AER | Time XY | A plot of the azimuth, elevation, and range (AER) over time between access pairs in the strands of a Chain.
The plot for each pair is shown over intervals that are the intersection of the pair's access intervals with the Chain's
complete access intervals.
The azimuth and elevation angles are computed with respect to a frame determined by the first object. The azimuth angle is the angle from the X axis (positive about the Z-axis) to the projection of the apparent relative position vector into the XY plane. The elevation is the angle of the apparent relative position vector from the XY plane, with positive angles being used when the vector has a negative Z component. When the first object is a Facility, Place, or Target, the XYZ frame is Topocentric (X aligned with North, Y aligned with East, and Z aligned with the detic nadir of the detic subpoint of the first object with respect to its central body). When the first object is a Satellite, Missile, or LaunchVehicle, the XYZ frame is CbiVVLH (inertial vehicle velocity local horizontal frame, with the Z axis aligned with the anti-radial direction and the X axis constrained toward the inertial velocity direction). When the first object is an Aircraft, GroundVehicle, or Ship, the XYZ frame is CbfVVLH (fixed vehicle velocity local horizontal frame, with the Z axis aligned with the anti-radial direction and the X axis constrained toward the central body fixed velocity direction) when the central body fixed velocity is not close to zero; when the velocity is close to zero, then the Topocentric frame is used. When the first object is a Sensor, then the frame is determined by its parent object as described above. |
