Variable I/O Description
-------- --- --------------------------------------------------
handle I Handle of SPK file open for writing.
body I NAIF code for ephemeris object.
center I NAIF code for the center of motion of the body.
frame I Reference frame name.
first I Start time of interval covered by segment.
last I End time of interval covered by segment.
segid I Segment identifier.
intlen I Length of time covered by record.
n I Number of records in segment.
polydg I Chebyshev polynomial degree.
cdata I Array of Chebyshev coefficients.
btime I Begin time of first record.
handle DAF handle of an SPK file to which a type 3 segment
is to be added. The SPK file must be open for
writing.
body NAIF integer code for an ephemeris object whose
state relative to another body is described by the
segment to be created.
center NAIF integer code for the center of motion of the
object identified by body.
frame NAIF name for a reference frame relative to which
the state information for body is specified.
first,
last Start and stop times of the time interval over
which the segment defines the state of body.
segid Segment identifier. An SPK segment identifier may
contain up to 40 characters.
intlen Length of time, in seconds, covered by each set of
Chebyshev polynomial coefficients (each logical
record). Each set of Chebyshev coefficents must
cover this fixed time interval, intlen.
n Number of sets of Chebyshev polynomial coefficients
for coordinates and their derivatives (number of
logical records) to be stored in the segment.
There is one set of Chebyshev coefficients for each
time period.
polydg Degree of each set of Chebyshev polynomials.
cdata Array containing all the sets of Chebyshev
polynomial coefficients to be placed in the
segment of the SPK file. The coefficients are
stored in cdata in order as follows:
the (degree + 1) coefficients for the first
coordinate of the first logical record
the coefficients for the second coordinate
the coefficients for the third coordinate
the coefficients for the derivative of the first
coordinate
the coefficients for the derivative of the
second coordinate
the coefficients for the derivative of the third
coordinate
the coefficients for the first coordinate for
the second logical record, ...
and so on.
btime Begin time (seconds past J2000 TDB) of first set
of Chebyshev polynomial coefficients (first
logical record).
None.
None.
1) If the number of sets of coefficients is not positive
SPICE(NUMCOEFFSNOTPOS) is signaled.
2) If the interval length is not positive, SPICE(INTLENNOTPOS)
is signaled.
3) If the integer code for the reference frame is not recognized,
SPICE(INVALIDREFFRAME) is signaled.
4) If segment stop time is not greater then the begin time,
SPICE(BADDESCRTIMES) is signaled.
5) If the start time of the first record is not less than
or equal to the descriptor begin time, SPICE(BADDESCRTIMES)
is signaled.
6) If the end time of the last record is not greater than
or equal to the descriptor end time, SPICE(BADDESCRTIMES) is
signaled.
7) The error SPICE(EMPTYSTRING) is signaled if either input
string does not contain at least one character, since the
input strings cannot be converted to a Fortran-style string
in this case.
8) The error SPICE(NULLPOINTER) is signaled if either input string
pointer is null.
A new type 3 SPK segment is written to the SPK file attached
to handle.
This routine writes an SPK type 3 data segment to the designated
SPK file, according to the format described in the SPK Required
Reading.
Each segment can contain data for only one target, central body,
and reference frame. The Chebyshev polynomial degree and length
of time covered by each logical record are also fixed. However,
an arbitrary number of logical records of Chebyshev polynomial
coefficients can be written in each segment. Minimizing the
number of segments in an SPK file will help optimize how the SPICE
system accesses the file.
Suppose that you have sets of Chebyshev polynomial coefficients
in an array cdata pertaining to the position of the moon (NAIF ID
= 301), relative to the Earth-moon barycenter (NAIF ID = 3), in
the J2000 reference frame, and want to put these into a type 2
segment in an existing SPK file. The following code could be used
to add one new type 2 segment. To add multiple segments, put the
call to SPKW02 in a loop.
#include "SpiceUsr.h"
.
.
.
/.
First open the SPK file and get a handle for it.
./
spkopa_c ( spknam, &handle );
/.
Create a segment identifier.
./
segid = "MY_SAMPLE_SPK_TYPE_3_SEGMENT";
/.
Write the segment.
./
spkw03_c ( handle, 301, 3, "J2000",
first, last, segid, intlen,
n, polydg, cdata, btime );
/.
Close the file.
./
spkcls_c ( handle );
None.
None.
