Main Window
The Main Window appears (normally) at the top of the screen. It
controls features common to all the other windows, such as the observer
location, date and time, window layout, and display options. There are menus
for setup/customizing, control of tracking, window arrangement, creation of new
tracking windows, and help.
Normally there are 4 information groups in the Main Window:
* The Tracking selector - If more than one map is displayed, this
determines which map will control the
Info Window
for continuous on-screen information (and hardware control via the
DDE interface.
* The UTC Date and Time of the current map displays. Note that the date
and time may be different from the clock-on-the-wall time, depending on
the
calculation mode.
This permits calculating satellite positions for any time, past, present or
future.
* The time interval (Res (sec)) between updates of the satellite
positions.
* The location of the observer for whom azimuth and elevation information are
being calculated.
The Main Window also has the following functions:
