TransmitterPdu
TransmitterPdu is a networked Protocol Data Unit (PDU) information node that provides detailed information about a radio transmitter modeled in a simulation.
The TransmitterPdu node belongs to the DIS component and its container field is children. It is available since X3D version 3.0 or later.
Fields
SFNode [in, out] metadata NULL [X3DMetadataObject]
Metadata are not part of the X3D world and not interpreted by the X3D browser, but they can be accessed via the ECMAScript interface.
SFVec3f [ ] bboxSize -1 -1 -1
Bounding box size is usually omitted, and can easily be calculated automatically by an X3D player at scene-loading time with minimal computational cost. Bounding box size can also be defined as an optional authoring hint that suggests an optimization or constraint.
Hint
Can be useful for collision computations or inverse-kinematics (IK) engines.
SFVec3f [ ] bboxCenter 0 0 0
Bounding box center: optional hint for position offset from origin of local coordinate system.

Indicates the spread spectrum technique or combination of spread spectrum techniques in use.
SFInt32 [in, out] modulationTypeSystem [0,65535]
Specifies radio system associated with this Transmitter PDU and used to interpret other fields whose values depend on a specific radio system.
SFString [in, out] multicastRelayHost ""
Fallback server address if multicast not available locally. For example: track.nps.edu.
SFInt32 [in, out] multicastRelayPort
Fallback server port if multicast not available locally. For example: 8010.
SFString [in, out] networkMode "standAlone" ["standAlone"|
Whether this entity is ignoring the network, sending DIS packets to the network, or receiving DIS packets from the network. (1) standAlone: ignore network but still respond to events in local scene. (2) networkReader: listen to network and read PDU packets at readInterval, act as remotely linked copy of entity. (3) networkWriter: send PDU packets to network at writeInterval, act as master entity. Default value "standAlone" ensures that DIS network activation within a scene as networkReader or networkWriter is intentional.
Warnings
Do not wrap extra quotation marks around these SFString enumeration values, since "quotation" "marks" are only used for MFString values. Network activity may have associated security issues.
