Description
This block selects data to include in a self-timed satellite transmission. The properties specify
what data to include in the transmission, how many data values to include, and the order of the
data.
NOTE: The settings for the transmission format are in the Setup tab under Satlink/Self-Timed.
From there, you can select one of the allowed formats including SHEF, SHEFFIX, BIN-INT,
BIN-NONINT, NOS, and INSAT. The transmission routines use this selected format and the
information in this block to properly format the data.
If the selected format is "BUFR", the settings differ slightly than what is shown and described
here. Please see BUFR, later in this document, for details.
Label
The Label field has multiple uses depending on the transmission format selected. Please see
Appendix H, Transmission Formats for details on how the label is used in various
transmission formats.
Data Time and Interval
Data Time and Data Interval define which data values coming into the block should be stored for
transmission.
For example, a Data Time of 00:00:00 and a Data Interval of 00:15:00 causes the block to store
any data coming into the block whose timestamp matches those values, i.e., any timestamp in the
set 00:00:00, 00:15:00 ... 23:45:00. Similarly, a Data Time of 00:02:59 and Data Interval of
