Creating a New Autoschedule Record for Geostationary Satellites

Creating a New Autoschedule Record for Geostationary Satellites

From the TeraCapCon Main Window, select Edit Autoschedule (Geostationary) from the Schedule menu.
In the Edit Autoschedule (Geostationary) dialog box, click on the New button to start a new record. The words "New Record" will appear in the upper left corner of the dialog box. This indicates that the Edit Autoschedule dialog box is now a template ready to be used for creating a new record.
From the Telemetry menu, select the telemetry for the satellites you are going to schedule with this record. You must select the telemetry before you change any other settings on the Edit Autoschedule dialog box. Changing the entry in the Telemetry field after you have made changes to other fields will reset those fields to their defaults.
The telemetry you select will automatically determine the entry in the Telemetry Chain field as well as the satellites available for selection.
Set other scheduling options on the Edit Autoschedule dialog box (see Fields of the Edit Autoschedule (Geostationary) Dialog Box).
To save the record, click on the Save button at the bottom of the dialog box. Any In-View passes that conform to the scheduling options you set on that record will be added to the list of Auto-Sched passes.
To display Auto-Sched passes, turn on the Auto-Sched Pass Filter at the top of the TeraCapCon Main Window. The passes selected for scheduling by the autoschedule record you just made will be listed with an A in the Status field, indicating that they will be scheduled the next time the autoscheduler processes the record. (The passes will be removed from the Auto-Sched list and will be added to the Scheduled list.) The particular time at which the record will be processed is determined by the entry in the record's Start Time field. (Most records are set up to be processed at 00:00:00 GMT.)
