Name Dimension Type Description
Time DateFormat Real Number Time.
Yaw AngleUnit Real Number The yaw angle for the primary object's ellipsoid at the given time. The yaw angle locates from the tangential direction the projection of the major axis of the ellipsoid onto the plane whose normal is the cross-track direction.
Pitch AngleUnit Real Number The pitch angle for the primary object's ellipsoid at the given time. The pitch angle locates the major axis of the ellipsoid from the plane whose normal is the cross-track direction.
Roll AngleUnit Real Number Roll angle between the two sets of axes. Defines rotation about the x-axis of the reference set, which occurs in order defined by placement of its index (1) in selected sequence in YPR angles representation.
Euler321 precession AngleUnit Real Number Precession angle between the two sets of axes. Defines rotation about the z-axis of the reference set, which occurs first when using 321 sequence in Euler angles representation.
Euler321 nutation AngleUnit Real Number Nutation angle between the two sets of axes. Defines rotation about the y-axis of the set rotated through precession, which occurs second when using 321 sequence in Euler angles representation.
Euler321 spin AngleUnit Real Number Spin angle between the two sets of axes. Defines rotation about the x-axis of the set rotated through precession and nutation, which occurs third when using 321 sequence in Euler angles representation.
Euler323 precession AngleUnit Real Number Precession angle between the two sets of axes. Defines rotation about the z-axis of the reference set, which occurs first when using 323 sequence in Euler angles representation.

q4 Unitless Real Number Fourth element of quaternion (its scalar part) representing orientation between the two sets of axes.
wx AngleRateUnit Real Number First component of angular velocity vector between the two sets of axes. Represents projection of angular velocity vector onto x-axis of the selected set.

wz AngleRateUnit Real Number Third component of angular velocity vector between the two sets of axes. Represents projection of angular velocity vector onto z-axis of the selected set.
w mag AngleRateUnit Real Number Magnitude of angular velocity vector between the two sets of axes. Represents relative speed of rotation between the two sets of axes.
RightAscension of w LongitudeUnit Real Number Right ascension of angular velocity vector between the two sets of axes. Represents the angle between the x-axis of the selected set and projection of the angular velocity vector onto the xy-plane of the selected set. The angle is measured counterclockwise about the z-axis of the selected set.
Declination of w LatitudeUnit Real Number Declination of angular velocity vector between the two sets of axes. Represents the angle between the angular velocity vector and its projection onto the xy-plane of the selected set. The angle is positive when the angular velocity vector is directed toward positive z-axis of the selected set.
Eigen-Angle AngleUnit Real Number Angle of eigen-rotation between the two sets of axes, i.e. a single axis rotation that aligns the two sets of axes.
Eigen-Axis x Unitless Real Number First component of a unit vector representing the axis of eigen-rotation between the two sets of axes. Defines instantaneous projection of the eigen-axis onto x-axis of either of the two sets of axes.
