Setting, Loading and Saving Parameters Principale

Setting Parameters

All SKYMATE™ parameters can be set using the same system. An example of the system is depicted below:

Each parameter is represented with 3 columns:

• Defaults : The value of the parameter when SKYMATE™ was initialized
• Values : An input box allowing to enter the value that you want to set
• Uploaded : The value currently uploaded into SKYMATE™ 

There are 2 arrows per parameter : 

• The arrow on the left (Defaults > Values) pushes Defaults into Values, that is : Default → Value. This is useful to reset Values to its original value.
• The arrow on the right (Values > Uploaded) pushes Values into Uploaded, that is : Values → Uploaded. This sets the parameter in SKYMATE™.

You can set Values by editing the input box. When the field Values is changed, the input box will change its colour to blue as shown below. This indicates that the field Values was changed but not set yet in SKYMATE™.

By using the arrow on the right (Values → Uploaded), you can set the parameter in SKYMATE™. In this case, the input box will change its colour to green. This indicates that the parameter was set in SKYMATE™.
