Functions Menu (Map Window)


Clear Display (alt-u, C; or F5) - Erases and redraws the map. All ground-track information will be lost. The same effect can be had by double-clicking the map.
Track Now (alt-u, T; or F12) - Causes the display in the Info Window (and hence the satellite tracked via the DDE interface) to switch to the satellite displayed in the current map.
Show Next Pass (alt-u, x; or F9) - Pops up the Report Window and computes the next visible pass (within 48 hours) of the current satellite.
Show Ascending Node (alt-u, N) - Pops up the Report Window and computes the next ascending node of the current satellite.
Show Apogee (alt-u, A) - Pops up the Report Window and computes the next apogee for the current satellite.
Show Perigee (alt-u, P) - Pops up the Report Window and computes the next perigee.
Show Keplerian Elements (alt-u, K; or shift-F9) - Pops up the Report Window to display the Keplerian Elements in use.
Show State Vector - Inertial (alt-u, S) - Pops up the Report Window to display the inertial (ECI) state vector for the current time. Units are controlled by the setting of the Distances in miles flag - if miles are chosen, the vector will be given in feet, otherwise in meters.
Show State Vector - Geodetic - Pops up the Report Window to display Geodetic (EFG) state vector for the current time. Units as above for the Inertial state vector.
Show View from Satellite (alt-u, V) - Pops up the Globe Window to display a view of Earth from space.
Show DX (alt-u, D; or ctrl-F9) - Pops up the Report Window to display a list of DX stations visible from the satellite. The list in the current QTH database is searched.
