Utilities/Listing
The Listing Utility provides a means to create printouts of satellite position data for later reference. It is comprised of six tab-selected pages. Listing data are displayed on the screen, and can also be printed to a printer, printed to a file, or captured to the Windows clipboard.
-
One Observer lists data for one satellite as viewed from one observer.
-
One Obs. AOS/LOS shows AOS/LOS times of the satellite from one observer's position.
-
Two Observers Az/El shows data for one satellite as seen from two observers simultaneously.
-
Two Observers One Satellite Mutual shows times during which the satellite is visible to both of two observers; these will be times when both observers can simultaneously access the satellite (a "mutual window").
-
Multiple Observers, One Satellite displays the position of a satellite for any number of observers simultaneously.
-
Two Observers, Multiple Satellites Mutual lists times of mutual visibility between two observers, including passes by any number of satellites.
Button functions

satellite is above the horizon.
Setup listing: To change the satellite or observer, or set limiting options being used in the Listing
utility. You will be taken to the proper Setup screen. Note that the satellite and
observer(s) used in the Setup utility are independent from the satellites and observers in any of the tracking Views.
Hide/Show squint: If the Listing page that is displayed contains a
column for Squint information but the satellite doesn't have these data, you may
want to suppress the squint column. Currently, only AO-40 has squint data.

the listing but want to erase them. This does not erase the data; it
merely removed the colored selection.

lines of data. Click it again to reveal the unselected lines again
