Compute or clear single object coverage calculations
Cov <ObjectPath> Access {ComputeOption} [<Parameters>]
Use the Cov command with the Access {CovOption} to compute coverage to a single object. For single-object coverage, <ObjectPath> can be a facility, place, target, vehicle (any type), sensor, receiver, transmitter or radar.
For calculating coverage area access see the Cov Access command.
{ComputeOption} can be:
| {ComputeOption} | <Parameter> | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Compute | [{TimeInterval} | UseObjectTimes] [{ReportOption} "<ReportStyle>" ["<FilePath>"]] |
For valid {TimeInterval} values see Time Options. Specify UseObjectTimes to use the longest interval of the combined objects that make up the Object Coverage. See the table below for description of {ReportOption} parameters. |
| Clear | N/A | Remove all settings and calculations for the object coverage definition. |
| ClearAccesses | N/A | Clear the accesses for the object coverage definition. |
The following table describes the {ReportOption} values for the Compute {ComputeOption}.
| {ReportOption} | Description |
|---|---|
| SaveAs | The "<FilePath>" is required. This option will create and save an ASCII file. |
| Export | The "<FilePath>" is required. This option will create and save an ASCII file. This file will be formatted in accordance with the Export options set for STK. See ExportConfig. |
| Display | This option will create and display a
report in STK.
Note: This option is only available when running STK Desktop. |
| Graph | This option will create and display a
graph in STK.
Note: This option is only available when running STK Desktop. |
| GraphSave | The "<FilePath>" is required. This option will create a graph and save it as bitmap file (.bmp). |
To compute single-object coverage for the ERS1 satellite:
Cov */Satellite/ERS1 Access Compute
To save single-object coverage data reported in the Coverage report for the ERS1 satellite to a file called covfile.rpt:
Cov */Satellite/ERS1 Access Compute SaveAs "Coverage" "C:\stk\User\covfile.rpt"
To display a graph of single-object coverage data reported in the FOM Value report for the ERS1 satellite:
Cov */Satellite/ERS1 Access Compute Graph "FOM Value"
To compute single-object coverage data for one hour and Export the reported data to a file:
Cov */Satellite/ERS1 Access Compute "1 Jul 2005 12:00:00.00" "1 Jul 2005 13:00:00.00" SaveAs "Coverage" "C:\stk\User\covExport.rpt"
If activated, Connect returns an acknowledgement message.
