Control the antenna pattern resolution for contouring.
Graphics <CommObjectPath> ContourSet {ContourOption} <Parameters>
Use the Graphics ContourSet command to set the antenna pattern resolution for contouring. The finer the resolution, the smoother the graphics appear. The following table describes the {ContourOption} <Parameters>.
| {ContourOption} <Parameters> | Description |
|---|---|
| ShowGfx {On | Off} | Turn on or off the contour graphics. |
| ShowAtAlt {On <Altitude> | Off} | Show the contour at the specified altitude above the Earth. <Altitude> is entered in Connect distance units, and must be greater or equal to 0.0. |
| "{ContourType}" <Params> | Set the antenna pattern resolution based on the contour type. Valid values for {ContourType} are: "Antenna Gain", "Flux Density", "EIRP", "RIP". See the following table for a description of <Params> for the {ContourType}. |
The following table describes the <Params> based on {ContourType}. For Receivers and Antennas the only valid value for {ContourType} is "Antenna Gain".
| {ContourType} | <Params> | Description |
|---|---|---|
| "Antenna Gain" | Pattern <NumAz> <azStart>
<azStop> <NumEl> <elStart> <elStop>
Pattern <AzResolution> <ElResolution> <MaxEl> |
<NumAz> and <NumEl> must be
between 2 and 1000. <azStart>, <azStop>,
<elStart> and <elStop> must be between -180.0 and 180
degrees.
<AzResolution> and <ElResolution> must be between 0.000001 and 30. <MaxEl> is entered in degrees and must be between 0 and 90.0. |
| "EIRP" | ||
| "Flux Density" | LatLon <AzResolution> <ElResolution> <MaxEl> | <AzResolution> and <ElResolution> must be between 0.000001 and 30. <MaxEl> is entered in degrees and must be between 0 and 90.0. |
| "RIP" |
Note: Receiver and transmitter graphics can be displayed only if the transmitter or receiver is defined as a Complex, GPS Satellite, Laser, or Multibeam model. Because the Simple and Medium antenna models are isotropic, there is no data to contour.
