Changing Pathloss

[gavinhsmith12]

Hello,

I am currently using the emane-node-director to change location data, but I would also like to be able to change pathloss values as well. From reading the documentation I see that emane-node-director does not have a functionality to change pathloss values, and I also tried using the batch flag to run a separate .eel file with pathloss values, but those sentences get ignored. It seems as though my only option to change pathloss values outside of the original scenario.eel file is to use the "emaneevent-pathloss" tool, but this is slow if I want to update many pathloss values at one time.

Could support for changing pathloss values be added? Or is there another emane tool that could be used to do this?

Thanks!

The emane-node-director --pathloss command line option will send pathloss values calculated from the node positions using either the freespace or 2ray calculation that emane uses internally. The node position events are always sent. It's an indirect way to set pathlosses. There is no direct way to do it with emane-node-director.
