Gpredict User Manual
The Refresh Rates page allows you to tune how often the module should
perform the calculations, as well as how often the views should be updated.
The data refresh rate is specified in milliseconds. This is the time between
two calculation-cycles. Every cycle the module will recalculate the data for
all satellites associated to the module. The refresh rates for the views are
specified in integer cycles of data refresh. If the data refresh rate is 400
msec and the list view refresh rate is 2 cycles, the list view will be
refreshed every 800 msec.
The map and the polar view do not need to be refreshed very often. For
these views visible changes will normally occur over 3-4 seconds. The list
and the single-satellite view, on the other hand, looks pretty cool when they
are refreshed every 100-200 msec, but be careful with the CPU load, in
particular if you have many modules open at the same time.
The rest of the pages in the module property editor define the look and feel
of the views. Most of the parameters are self-explaining and you should not
be afraid of experimenting with the different settings. If you somehow end
up with a useless configuration, you can always reset to the default values
by clicking on the Reset button that is available on all pages.
Chapter 4 describes the modules in more details and also gives a detailed
description of the configuration parameters.
