Description
Detects start of visibility (AOS), end of visibility (LOS), and maximum elevation events and determines the elevation at the time of these events.

Method Signature
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.
Event Type == 3 is maximum elevation during this visibility period.
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.
|
eventElevation
|
|
Description:
|
An Array to be filled with the detected event elevations.
|
Return Value
Returns the number of detected events.
Syntax
myVariable1 = myVisibilitySegment1.ElevationTimes(myTimeSpan1, myTimeSpanArray1, myArray1, myArray2);
