Tracking Scenario Player

Play tracking scenario and tracking scenario recording

Since R2023a

Description

The Tracking Scenario Player app enables you to play a non-Earth-centered trackingScenario object or a non-Earth-centered trackingScenarioRecording object. You can use the app to run, pause, step forward, step back, go to start, or jump to a specific time stamp. Using the axes toolbar, you can also control the visibility of components in the scenario, such as ground plane, platform trajectory, and sensor coverage.

Open the Tracking Scenario Player App

• To open the app for playing a trackingScenario object, use its play object function.

• To open the app for playing a trackingScenarioRecording object, use its play object function.

Examples

Play trackingScenario in Tracking Scenario Player

Load a trackingScenario object and set the UpdateRate property to 0.

load("ATCScenario.mat","scenario")
% Set the UpdateRate property of the scenario as 0 to avoid the player warning that
% the player determines the update rate based on trajectories and sensors.
scenario.UpdateRate = 0;

Play the tracking scenario.

play(scenario)

An app opens and the scenario starts playing.

Play trackingScenarioRecording in Tracking Scenario Player

Load a trackingScenarioRecording object.

load("ATCrecording.mat","recording")

Play the first saved recording.

play(recording(1))

An app opens and the recording starts playing.

Parameters

Simuate Toolstrip — Control player during simulation

tab

The simulate toolstrip controls the play of the scenario simulation. It contains these buttons.

Button	Description
	Click to go to the start of the simulation. This button is active when player is running or paused.
	Click to move the simulation back by one step. This button is active when the current time is not the start time.
	Click to start running the simulation. This button is active when the simulation has not started.
	Click to pause the simulation. This button is active when the simulation is running.
	Click to continue running the simulation. This button is active when the simulation is paused.
	Click to move the simulation forward by one step. This button is active when the simulation has not reached the end.

Axes Toolbar Buttons — Control display of components in player

axes buttons

Use the axes toolbar buttons in the simulation figure to enable or disable various components in the display.

Other than the standard Pan, Zoom In, Zoom Out, and Restore View buttons, the toolbar also has these buttons.

Button	Description
	Click to enable or disable platform trajectories in the display.
	Click to enable or disable the ground plane in the display.
	Click to enable or disable sensor coverages and detections in the display.
	Click to enable or disable axes orientation in the display.
	Click to view projection options from a drop-down menu. You can select X-Y view, X-Z view, or Y-Z view.

The axes tool buttons also include the standard Pan, Zoom In, Zoom Out, and Home buttons.

Time Scrubber — Time scrubber for player

time scrubber

Use the time scrubber to navigate to a specific timestamp by dragging scrubber to that timestamp or clicking on the timestamp on the time slider.

Limitations

No Support for Earth-Centered Scenario or Recording

You cannot play an Earth-centered tracking scenario or a recording of an Earth-centered scenario. A trackingScenario object is Earth-centered if its IsEarthCentered property is true. A trackingScenarioRecording object is Earth-centered if the recorded trackingScenario object is Earth-centered.
