Method Signature

Spacecraft.EPV(

AcqData dataConfiguration)

 

 

Arguments

dataConfiguration

Description:

AcqData object that contains all the configuration information used to generate the EPV report.

 

 

 

Return Value

Type:

string

 

 

Returns spacecraft position and velocity information in the Geocentric True of Date Rotating reference frame.

 

Syntax

myString1 = mySpacecraft1.EPV(myAcqData1);

 

 

Example 1

This example shows how to use the Report command to generate an EPV file.

 

Note: To report the EPV to an output file, the “as Binary” and “without linefeed” options should be used, in order to ensure properly formatted line endings.

 

Spacecraft Spacecraft1;

AcqData AcqData1;

 

// Set the AcqData Comment Lines

AcqData1.CommentLine1 = "Comment Line 1";

AcqData1.CommentLine2 = "Comment Line 2";

AcqData1.CommentLine3 = "Comment Line 3";

 

Report as Binary Spacecraft1.EPV(AcqData1) to "myEPV.txt" without linefeed;

 

 

Output:
