Method Signature

VisibilityCalculator.VisibilityTimes(	Variable evaluationEpoch,
	Array eventTimes,
	Array eventTypes)

Arguments

evaluationEpoch
Description:	This epoch defines an end-point of the evaluation interval. FreeFlyer will determine whether any events have occurred between this epoch and the previous evaluationEpoch specified for this argument.

eventTimes
Description:	An Array to be filled with the detected event times.

eventTypes

Description:

An Array to be filled with the detected event types.

Event Type == 1 is start of visibility.

Event Type == 2 is end of visibility.

The FF_Preferences.IntervalEventReportingBehavior property controls whether the start of propagation is reported as an event. By default, if visibility starts before the beginning of the propagation span, FreeFlyer will label the start of the propagation as the start of visibility.

Return Value

Type:

number

Returns the number of detected event.

Syntax

myVariable1 = myVisibilityCalculator1.VisibilityTimes(myVariable2, myArray1, myArray2);
