The Set GUI is a very simple text box that lets you type the command directly. By default, it has no arguments, so you must finish the command yourself.

Examples

Read a TVHF file and use it to configure a spacecraft.

          Create Spacecraft aSat
Create FileInterface tvhf
tvhf.Filename = 'statevec.txt'
tvhf.Format = 'TVHF_ASCII'

BeginMissionSequence

Set aSat tvhf

Read a TVHF file and use it to set only the epoch and the Cartesian state.

          Create Spacecraft aSat
Create FileInterface tvhf
tvhf.Filename = 'statevec.txt'
tvhf.Format = 'TVHF_ASCII'

BeginMissionSequence

Set aSat tvhf (Data = {'Epoch', 'CartesianState'})
