OpticalLinkTransmitter.GetPointingLossFromPointingError(Variable) Method

Top

Description

Uses the BeamDivergence property and a provided 3-sigma pointing error in radians to get a pointing loss value in dB.

Timing Precision Mode

This page describes functionality in millisecond timing precision mode. Millisecond timing precision mode is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. We recommend that you migrate your Mission Plans to nanosecond timing precision mode.
