Selected Point Probability of Coverage
The probability of coverage for the point selected in the grid inspector being achieved as a function of the time past a request for coverage.In other words, if you request coverage of the point now, what is the probability that you will have visibility to the point within the next hour, the next six hours or the next day. The probability that coverage is achieved at the instant of the request is the same as the percentage of time that the point is covered. Thus, if the point is covered 20% of the time, then the point will be covered at the time of request 20% of the time, which means that 20% of the time the wait for coverage will be zero. The point has a 100% probability of coverage at a time from request that equals the maximum coverage gap for the point. If the maximum coverage gap for a point is 30 minutes, then the worst case request for coverage would occur at the beginning of the 30 minute coverage gap. In that case, after 30 minutes have elapsed since the time of the request, you are guaranteed to have coverage of the point. A point is considered to be covered if it has access to one or more of the assigned assets.
