Description
The TimeTool command enables you to define instances, intervals of time, time arrays, and collections of intervals. Use these user-created structures and elements in STK for reporting and graphing as well as 2D and 3D graphic displays.
The TimeTool command is not valid for CommSystem, Constellation, Planet, or Star objects, or Central Bodies.
Valid {Options} are described here.
| {Options} | Description |
|---|---|
| Compute "<ComponentSpec>" | This computes the Time component. This command will Nack if the component is already computed or cannot be computed.
To get the Compute/Clear status of a Time component, use the TimeTool_R command with the Status option. The Compute option is not valid for a template. |
| Clear "<ComponentSpec>" | This clears the Time component. This command will Nack if the component is already cleared or cannot be cleared.
To get the Compute/Clear status of a Time component, use the TimeTool_R command with the Status option. The Clear option is not valid for a template. |
| Export "<Filename>" "<ComponentSpec>"... | This exports the specified components to a file.
"<Filename>" is the file that will be written. It should have the extension .awb. If the file already exists, it will be overwritten. "<FilePath>" is the path to a file on your local drive. "<ComponentSpec>" is the name of a component to be exported. You can enter this parameter two or more times on the command line. All components exported to one file must have the same parent. |
| Import <TruncObjectPath> "<Filename>" | This imports the components from the specified "<Filename>".
<TruncObjectPath> specifies the parent of the imported components. "<Filename>" is the path to a file on your local drive. |
| Rename "<ComponentSpec>" <NewName> | This renames the specified Time component to the new name. |
| RenameTemplate "<TemplateSpec>" <NewName> | This renames the specified Time template to the new name. |
| Duplicate "<ComponentSpec>" [<NewName>] | This duplicates the specified Time component using the <NewName>, if entered. If you do not enter <NewName>, then STK will create a unique name for the duplicate component. |
| DuplicateTemplate "<TemplateSpec>" [<NewName>] | This duplicates the specified Time template using the <NewName>, if entered. If you do not enter <NewName>, then STK will create a unique name for the duplicate template. |
| UserDescription "<ComponentSpec>" "<Description>" | This adds a user description to the specified Time component or template.
If "<Description>" is more than 300 characters, it will be truncated to 300. You cannot change the user description on the following read-only items: component from template, installed components and templates, and embedded components. |
