Description
Use the "TimeTool Interval" command to add, modify, and delete Interval components and templates.
For a component object, the <ParentObject> is a truncated object path.
For a template, the <ParentObject> is an STK class name, and you must enter the "IntervalTemplate" keyword.
The following table provides a description of {Action} values and the applicable parameters:
| {Action} | Parameters | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Create | {IntervalType} [<TypeParams>] | <TypeParams> are optional, except where noted below. If you do not specify any <TypeParams>, STK uses default values. |
| Modify | {IntervalType} <TypeParams> | The values <ComponentName> {IntervalType} must define an existing Interval component or template. You cannot modify the {IntervalType}. <TypeParams> are required. |
| Delete | N/A | This deletes the component or template identified by <ComponentName>. |
You can specify any or all of the <TypeParams> for an {IntervalType} on a command line, except where indicated.
The following table describes each Interval type and its parameters.
| {IntervalType} | <TypeParams> |
|---|---|
| "Between Time Instants" |
|
| "Fixed Duration" |
Enter <Value> in Connect time units. |
| "Fixed Interval" |
Enter "<DateTime>" in Connect date units. |
| "Fixed Time Offset" |
Enter <Value> in Connect time units. |
| "Interval From List" |
The Number <Value> parameter is valid only if Selection is NumberForward or NumberBackward. <Value> is an integer greater than or equal to 1. |
| "Offset from Time Instant" |
Enter <Value> in Connect time units. OffsetBefore value is subtracted from the time and OffsetAfter value is added to the time to create the interval. |
| "Scaled" |
Enter AbsoluteIncrement <Value> in Connect time units. RelativeIncrement <Value> is a real number greater than or equal to -100.0. You cannot enter both AbsoluteIncrement and RelativeIncrement in the same command. |
| "Signaled" |
Enter <Speed> in Connect Time units / second. The SpeedValue parameter is valid if SignalTransmissionType is Custom. Enter <Delay> in Connect time units. The CustomSystem parameter is valid if SignalPathRefSystem is Custom. The Signaled Interval is not valid for Chain, CoverageDefinition, or Scenario objects. |
For details on the format of a reference component (e.g., "<TimeInstant>", "<Interval>", "<RefSystem>", etc), see Component Specification.
When specifying a reference component or template in the Create or Modify commands, the {ComponentType} is implied based on the {IntervalType} being created or modified and the {ComponentType} need not be entered. In the second example below, "Satellite/ScenTestSat SunGlint Point" is entered as "Satellite/ScenTestSat SunGlint", since the command is expecting a Point.
