Detailed_Input

 
   ck             is the name of a C-kernel. 
    
   idcode         is the integer ID code of an object, normally a
                  spacecraft structure or instrument, for which
                  pointing data are expected to exist in the specified
                  CK file.
 
   needav         is a logical variable indicating whether only
                  segments having angular velocity are to be considered
                  when determining coverage.  When `needav' is
                  SPICETRUE, segments without angular velocity don't
                  contribute to the coverage window; when `needav' is
                  SPICEFALSE, all segments for `idcode' may contribute
                  to the coverage window.
 
 
   level          is the level (granularity) at which the coverage 
                  is examined.  Allowed values and corresponding 
                  meanings are: 
 
                     "SEGMENT"    The output coverage window contains
                                  intervals defined by the start and
                                  stop times of segments for the object
                                  designated by `idcode'.
 
                     "INTERVAL"   The output coverage window contains
                                  interpolation intervals of segments
                                  for the object designated by
                                  `idcode'.  For type 1 segments, which
                                  don't have interpolation intervals,
                                  each epoch associated with a pointing
                                  instance is treated as a singleton
                                  interval; these intervals are added
                                  to the coverage window.

                                  All interpolation intervals are
                                  considered to lie within the segment
                                  bounds for the purpose of this
                                  summary:  if an interpolation
                                  interval extends beyond the segment
                                  coverage interval, only its
                                  intersection with the segment
                                  coverage interval is considered to
                                  contribute to the total coverage.
 
   tol            is a tolerance value expressed in ticks of the
                  spacecraft clock associated with IDCODE.  Before each
                  interval is inserted into the coverage window, the
                  interval is intersected with the segment coverage
                  interval, then if the intersection is non-empty, it
                  is expanded by `tol': the left endpoint of the
                  intersection interval is reduced by `tol' and the
                  right endpoint is increased by `tol'. Adjusted
                  interval endpoints, when expressed as encoded SCLK,
                  never are less than zero ticks.  Any intervals that
                  overlap as a result of the expansion are merged.
 
                  The coverage window returned when tol > 0 indicates
                  the coverage provided by the file to the CK readers
                  ckgpav_c and ckgp_c when that value of `tol' is
                  passed to them as an input.
 
               
   timsys         is a string indicating the time system used in the
                  output coverage window.  `timsys' may have the
                  values:
  
                      "SCLK"    Elements of `cover' are expressed in 
                                encoded SCLK ("ticks"), where the 
                                clock is associated with the object 
                                designated by `idcode'. 
 
                      "TDB"     Elements of `cover' are expressed as 
                                seconds past J2000 TDB. 
 
 
   cover          is an initialized CSPICE window data structure.
                  `cover' optionally may contain coverage data on
                  input; on output, the data already present in `cover'
                  will be combined with coverage found for the object
                  designated by `idcode' in the file `ck'.
 
                  If `cover' contains no data on input, its size and
                  cardinality still must be initialized.
 

Detailed_Output

 
   cover          is a CSPICE window data structure which represents
                  the merged coverage for `idcode'. When the coverage
                  level is "INTERVAL", this is the set of time
                  intervals for which data for `idcode' are present in
                  the file `ck', merged with the set of time intervals
                  present in `cover' on input.  The merged coverage is
                  represented as the union of one or more disjoint time
                  intervals.  The window `cover' contains the pairs of
                  endpoints of these intervals.
 
                  When the coverage level is "SEGMENT", `cover' is
                  computed in a manner similar to that described above,
                  but the coverage intervals used in the computation
                  are those of segments rather than interpolation
                  intervals within segments.  
 
                  When `tol' is > 0, the intervals comprising the
                  coverage window for `idcode' are expanded by `tol'
                  and any intervals overlapping as a result are merged.
                  The resulting window is returned in `cover'. The
                  expanded window in no case extends beyond the segment
                  bounds in either direction by more than `tol'.
 
                  The interval endpoints contained in `cover' are
                  encoded spacecraft clock times if `timsys' is "SCLK";
                  otherwise the times are converted from encoded
                  spacecraft clock to seconds past J2000 TDB.
 
                  See the Examples section below for a complete example
                  program showing how to retrieve the endpoints from
                  `cover'.

Restrictions

 
   1) When this routine is used to accumulate coverage for `idcode' 
      provided by multiple CK files, the inputs `needav', `level', `tol', 
      and `timsys'  must have the same values for all files in order 
      for the result to be meaningful. 
 

Exceptions

 
   1)  If the input file has transfer format, the error  
       SPICE(INVALIDFORMAT) is signaled. 
 
   2)  If the input file is not a transfer file but has architecture 
       other than DAF, the the error SPICE(BADARCHTYPE) is signaled. 
 
   3)  If the input file is a binary DAF file of type other than 
       CK, the error SPICE(BADFILETYPE) is signaled. 
 
   4)  If the CK file cannot be opened or read, the error will 
       be diagnosed by routines called by this routine. The output 
       window will not be modified. 
 
   5)  If the size of the output window argument `cover' is 
       insufficient to contain the actual number of intervals in the 
       coverage window for `idcode', the error will be diagnosed by 
       routines called by this routine.   
 
   6)  If `tol' is negative, the error SPICE(VALUEOUTOFRANGE) is 
       signaled. 
 
   7)  If `level' is not recognized, the error SPICE(INVALIDOPTION) 
       is signaled. 
 
   8)  If `timsys' is not recognized, the error SPICE(INVALIDOPTION) 
       is signaled. 
 
   9)  If a time conversion error occurs, the error will be  
       diagnosed by a routine in the call tree of this routine. 
 
   10) If the output time system is TDB, the CK subsystem must be 
       able to map `idcode' to the ID code of the associated 
       spacecraft clock.  If this mapping cannot be performed, the 
       error will be diagnosed by a routine in the call tree of this 
       routine. 
  
   11) The error SPICE(EMPTYSTRING) is signaled if any of the input
       strings `ck', `level', or `timsys' do not contain at least one
       character, since such an input string cannot be converted to a
       Fortran-style string in this case.
      
   12) The error SPICE(NULLPOINTER) is signaled if the if any of the input
       strings `ck', `level', or `timsys' are null.

Files

 
   This routine reads a C-kernel. 
 
   If the output time system is "TDB", then a leapseconds kernel 
   and an SCLK kernel for the spacecraft clock associated with 
   `idcode' must be loaded before this routine is called. 
 
   If the ID code of the clock associated with `idcode' is not  
   equal to  
 
      idcode / 1000 
 
   then the kernel variable  
 
      CK_<idcode>_SCLK 
  
   must be present in the kernel pool to identify the clock 
   associated with `idcode'.  This variable must contain the ID code 
   to be used for conversion between SCLK and TDB. Normally this 
   variable is provided in a text kernel loaded via furnsh_c.

Version

 
   -CSPICE Version 1.0.1, 30-NOV-2007 (NJB)

       Corrected bug in first example program in header:
       program now empties result window prior to collecting
       data for each object. Updated examples to use wncard_c 
       rather than card_c. Updated second example to demonstrate
       segment-level summary capability.

   -CSPICE Version 1.0.0, 07-JAN-2005 (NJB)
