This page covers the Script Mode and its features and functionalities.

You can use the Script Mode to build a simple list of commands to create a route for a scenario.simulation.

When you have completed a script, you can click the Preview button to execute and preview the route generated from the script.

A quick and easy way to get going is to use one of the predefined examples.

You can use the IntelliPrompt feature to find formats for the different commands you can use to create the route.

Set Start Position

Click on the Set Start Position button to pinpoint the first waypoint in the route and have it added to the script.

Intelliprompt Commands

Click on the IntelliPrompt button to see the available command options.

These are the available script commands that you can use to define and update the route:

Accel	Accelerate at xxxm/s² for yyy seconds	accel=xxx@yyys
Heading	Change heading by ±xxx degrees, using radius of yyy meters Change heading by ±xxx degrees, in yyy seconds	Heading=+xxx@yyym Heading=+xxx@yyys
Height	Change height to xxx meters in yyy meters Change height to xxx meters on yyy seconds	Height=xxx@yyym Height=xxx@yyys
Repeat	Repeat next section x times End of repeat section	repeat=x repeat=end
Satellite	Change properties on a satellite	satellite=(constellation, prn, enabled, SignalGainDB)
Speed	Change velocity to xxx km/h in yyy meters Change velocity to xxx km/h in yyy seconds	speed=xxx@yyym speed=xxx@yyys
StartHeading	Initial heading in degrees	StartHeading=xxx.xx
StartHeight	Height of starting point in meters	StartHeight=+xxxx.xx
StartLatitude	Latitude of starting point in degrees	Startlatitude=+xxxx.xx
StartLongitude	Longitude of starting point in degrees	Startlongitude=+xxxx.xx
Vspeed	Change vertical speed to xxx in yyy meters Change vertical speed to xxx in yyy seconds	vspeed=xxx@yyym vspeed=xxx@yyys
Wait	Wait stationary for xx seconds Continue at the same speed and heading for xx seconds	Wait=xxs wait=xxs

Script Status

The script status will be displayed underneath the script window. This status will display in red, yellow or green depending on the status.

If there is an error, it will be red and provide information about the line that includes the error and what kind of error it is.

If the script is being updated, it will be displayed in yellow.

If the script is operational, it will be displayed in green with the route's total distance and time below.

Preview

Click the Preview button to execute and preview the route generated from the script.

Route Options - Script Mode

You can further configure your route by using the options in the Route tab. The Route options will change depending on if you are using Map Mode or Script Mode, but you can see the full overview of the Script Mode route options here.

Note: User-defined Script routes are defined in a local coordinate system. Due to this, script routes aren’t suitable for space and long-distance scenario simulations.
