Define the basic properties of a sensor
Define <SensorObjectPath> {Type} <TypeData>
The Define command allows you to define a specified sensor instance. <TypeData> is dependent upon the {Type} of sensor specified.
Hint: Use the Point commands to further define and manipulate a sensor.
{Type} and <TypeData> can be:
| {Type} | {TypeData} |
|---|---|
| Conical | <InnerConeHalfAngle> <OuterConeHalfAngle> <MinClockAngle> <MaxClockAngle> [AngularRes <Value>] |
| HalfPower | <Frequency> <Diameter> [AngularRes <Value>] |
| Custom | <FilePath> |
| Rectangular | <VerticalHalfAngle> <HorizontalHalfAngle> [AngularRes <Value>] |
| SAR | <MinElevationAngle> <MaxElevationAngle> <ForwardExclusionAngle> <AftExclusionAngle> {<ParentAltitude> | TrackParentAltitude {On | Off} } [AngularRes <Value>] |
| SimpleCone | <ConeAngle> [AngularRes <Value>] |
Include the optional AngularRes <Value> parameter to set the angular separation between neighboring pattern points. <Value> is entered in degrees and can be 0.000001 to 90.0.
Note: All Angle values are entered in Degrees.
To define the pattern of the Shuttle's Horizon sensor in the current scenario:
Define */Satellite/Shuttle/Sensor/Horizon Conical 0.0 85.0 0.0 360.0
To define the pattern of Sensor1 to be rectangular and to have an angular separation of 6 degrees:
Define */Satellite/Satellite1/Sensor/Sensor1 Rectangular 25.1 36.8 AngularRes 6.0
To define the pattern of Sensor1 to be SAR and to use the parent's altitude for the altitude of the sensor:
Define */Satellite/Satellite1/Sensor/SnSAR SAR 15.2 51.9 5.7 8.6 TrackParentAltitude On
If activated, Connect returns an acknowledgement message.
