b) Line
The Line target results in the 2AP moving to the target’s specified start position, and then traversing
a line at a calculated rate (based on duration) to a specified end position coordinate. The duration
parameter is the length of time the 2AP takes to traverse the target line and modifying it has the
effect of changing the speed at which the 2AP will move from its start to end position. The user
must enter azimuth and zenith coordinates for the start position, and a distance from the start in
degrees of azimuth and zenith.
If the Line target is defined with a relative start position, the target line will start at the point that the
2AP completed its last target. Accordingly, the start position coordinate boxes will be disabled.
Figure 5.5 shows a Line target definition. The blue cross-hair is the start position; the green cross-
hair is the end position. The blue line connecting the two cross-hairs is the path the 2AP will follow
at the specified duration. The red circle is the current 2AP position and the red cross-hair is the
final 2AP position.
