States
No equivalent capability in DIGEST
- May appear as “purple overprint” to hardcopy maps/charts
Handled as an explicit subset of the Attribute Codes
- Allows for states to be “used” just like any other attribute
- Delimits SAC subset allowed for use in State-Related organizations
Initially based on IEEE 1278.1-associated enumerations
- “Enumeration and Bit Encoded Values for Use with Protocols for Distributed Interactive Simulation Applications” IST-CF-99-04
- Generalized binary and simple bit-values to continuous valued
- Generalized across classes of vehicles (ground, air, water)
Extended based on requirements for controlled lighting
Allows SEDRIS to be used to capture -
- State of simulation as part of checkpoint/final state for later review
- States of 3D models & other articulating/lighting/changing objects
