UniformNoise(Variable, Variable) Function

Top

Description

Returns a random number with the specified mean and width.

Note that this function shares its seed value with FreeFlyer's internal random number generation. This means that even with a set seed value it is possible for this function to generate inconsistent values across Mission Plan executions based on the sequence of events undergone in the Mission Plan.

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.
