BASICS

  PC-TRACK is a user friendly,
  simple-to-use satellite tracking
  package. It is designed to track up
  to 8 satellites simultaneously on an
  EGA Graphics screen using spherical
  and mercator projections.

   It allows easy input and maintenance
  of object and observer data.

    It can send predicted satellite
  positions and look angles to printer
  as desired.

  PC-TRACK BASICS

    In order to do satellite tracking,
  PC-TRACK requires data on the
  observation points and the objects to
  be tracked. The two SETUP options
  allow you to include all this
  information.
   - SETUP OBSERVERS -
  The SETUP OBSERVERS option allows you
  to maintain a file of observation
  points to be used in tracking with the
  information needed.

BASICS (Continued)
  - SETUP OBJECTS -
  The SETUP OBJECTS option allows you to
  maintain a file of the objects to be
  tracked with the information required
  (see the SETUP OBJECT help screens for
  how to get the required information).

    Once at least one observation point
  and one object have been defined,
  tracking may be done by selecting the
  TRACK option from the MAIN MENU. After
  selecting the OBJECT and OBSERVER from
  those entered using the SETUP option,
  tracking begins.

  - TRACKING -
  Track uses either the text or the EGA
  graphics screen. In graphics, 3D
  spherical or mercator projection
  maps are provided. Tracking may be
  done in real time and high speed.
  Current tracking information is shown
  both graphically and numerically for
  all objects being tracked. Track
  information may also be sent to a
  printer. Display of track data is
  also available on the Text screen
  for systems without EGA displays.

SETUP
  The SETUP feature allows you to
  enter and organize all the infor-
  mation you need for tracking your
  satellites... The 2 options available
  are:
    => OBSERVER - Holds information on
       up to 200 observation points.


    => OBJECTS - Holds information on
       up to 200 objects.

  This is defined in hours from
  Greenwich Mean Time (Coordinated
  Universal Time). It is negative for

  defined here.
    The minimum elevation is defined in
  degrees and decimal degrees and must

    [F2] (cont.)

    Real Time tracking computes the
    actual current position of the
    satellite (assuming the date and
    time in your computer are properly
    set).

    Fast Track allows you to predict
    forward or backward in time.
    This can be used with the printer
    by pressing F4 to print satellite
    orbital predictions ahead of time.

    - PAUSE -

    Pressing the F3 key causes all
    tracking to cease until you to
    press the F3 key again.

    Remember: Press F3 to PAUSE and
    press it again to resume tracking.

    - ENABLE PRINTER -

    Pressing the F4 will enable output
    to be sent to the printer while
    tracking. When used with the Fast
    Track mode (F2) it allows you to
    print orbital predictions.

    F4 operates like a "toggle".
    Pressing it enables the printer,
    pressing it again disables it.

    - SET DOS CLOCK -

    This key will take the currently
    displayed date and time and set
    the DOS clock with them.

    This allows you to easily change
    the real time clock to a desired
    date and time. The date and time
    are changed by using the arrow
    keys.

    move across the date, time, and
    interval. (Press the Left arrow
    key first if no portion is high-

    It is useful to set the clock to
    a specific date and time and
    increment. It is used with F10 to
    set the DOS clock to a new time.

    By setting the increment to
    00:00:00 and changing the time,
    it is possible to examine specific
    points in time at will.

  With this option, you may change some
  of the various pieces of information
  (parameters) which control how the
  program operates. There are options
  available here:

CONFIGURE SCREEN
  With this option, you will be able to
  define all the screen colors used
  to display information on the screen.

  This way you can get the screen
  displays to look the way you want.

  This also makes it easy to adjust
  displays on monochrome monitors.
  You are able to see the effects of
  changes on the screen while you make
  them. You can make hanges to both the
  background and text colors with simple
  key strokes.

  find the files it needs to operate.

  You can also select what type of
  distance measurements (METRIC or
  ENGLISH) and time measurements (UTC
  or LOCAL).

  drive to use as the storage area for
  the data files it uses. It will be in
  the form of an MS-DOS path name. If
  you just want to indicate the B drive,
  just enter "B:" here. If you have the
  program on your hard disk and it is
  the C drive and you have a special
  subdirectory called "\TRACK\DATA",
  then you would enter "C:\TRACK\DATA"
  on this line.

CONFIGURE SYSTEM (Printer Codes)

  Printer codes are sequences of special
  control characters sent to your
  printer. They are displayed and edited
  them from you as the decimal equiv-
  alents of each control character sep-
  arated by a slash (/). For example the
  ESC character has a decimal value of
  27 so it is shown on the screen that
  way. Notice some print commands have a
  code sequence to turn it on and one to
  turn it off. Some codes do not need to
  be turned off.
