IntEnum

Overview#

ELEMENT_OF_3D_MODEL

3D model: point a sensor along one of the available elements of the selected 3D Model.

FILE

External: import a custom sensor pointing file.

FIXED_IN_PARENT_BODY_AXES

Fixed: model sensors that are fixed in the parent object’s body coordinate frame, so that they always point in the same direction relative to the parent.

FIXED_IN_AXES

Fixed in axes: point a sensor with reference to a set of axes, using the selected orientation system.

SPINNING

Spinning: model radars, push broom sensors and other instruments that spin, scan or sweep over time.

TARGETED

Targeted: model sensors that track other objects.

BORESIGHT_GRAZING_ALTITUDE

Grazing altitude: model a sensor so that the boresight vector will graze the central body at a specified altitude.

ALONG_VECTOR

Along Vector: model a sensor so that sensor pointing alignment is controlled by using a pair of vectors defined using the Vector Geometry tool.

SCHEDULED

Schedule: controls scheduled sensor pointing.
