All Implemented Interfaces:

VectorFunction

Enclosing class:

PointingFunction

public static class PointingFunction.ClassicModel
extends PointingFunction

The classical pointing model. According to OpenTSI 1.0 it reads as follows:

       Δaz=-AN·sin(A)·ctg(Z)+AE·cos(A)·ctg(Z)
       +NPAE·ctg(Z)-BNP/sin(Z)+AOFF

       Δzd=AN·cos(A)+AE·sin(A)+TF·sin(Z)+ZOFF
       

Note that the original document had a sign error in the ezimuth model on AN and AE. Note also that the pilar model is using the zenith distance instead of the more standard elevation (Z=90-El).

Method Detail

getModelName

public String getModelName()

Returns the name of this model. This is used in querying the parameters from Pilar.

Specified by:

getModelName in class PointingFunction

getParameterNames

public Set<String> getParameterNames()

Returns the parameter names as known by pilar.

Specified by:

getParameterNames in class PointingFunction

setParameter

public boolean setParameter(String name,
                            double value)

Sets a given parameter to a certain value.

Specified by:

setParameter in class PointingFunction

Returns:

True, if the parameter is found.

evaluate

public VectorG evaluate(VectorG nautz)

The classic pointing model expects the nautic azimuth in the first argument and the zenith distance in the second, both in degrees. It returns the correction (pointing_true=argument+return_value) to the nautic azimuth in the first argument and the correction to zenith distance in the second.

Parameters:

nautz - Two-dim vector with nautic azimuth and zenith distance in degrees.

Returns:

Correction to pointing in Pilar units, normally degrees.
