Displays and Windows
There are three types of windows:
The
Main Window
(at the top of the screen) and the
Info Window
(at the left edge) are normally present at all times, and there is only one of
each, regardless of the number of satellites being tracked. Actions taken in
the Main Window affect all of the tracking windows, while the Info
Window is specific to a single satellite. Information to be used for
hardware control
comes from the info window.
One
Map Window
appears for each satellite being tracked. The tracking displays are
synchronized (by the main window), although certain options may be
independently selected for each map.
These windows appear only when there is a need for the user to provide
information, or for the program to display it. The most important are:
Report Window:
view, edit, save and print numerical results.
Globe Window
("View from Space"): more than a map.
Observer Information Window:
select, display and edit observer data and other points to be plotted on the
maps.
Satellite Information Window:
select, display, edit, print, and manipulate satellite data.
Print Dialog Window:
specify format of ephemeris printouts.
