I received the following question in a PM and thought it would be good to share the info with everyone.
I have a targeting question, I hope you don't mind?
I'm not sure how to elicit a yes or no rv query.
Such as "is there a widget in this location"
Can you tell me if/how that is done?
Thanks in advance
You have stumbled upon one of the challenges that has faced TRVers for decades.
If it were easy to answer a yes or no question, then all we would have to do is ask "is the xyz stock going to close higher than it opened today?"
Since TRV data is descriptive in nature, and not prone to accuracy in numbers or proper names, it is also not good at giving "switch" type data..yes or no, plus or minus, etc.
It would be very easy to get a detailed description of the widget, yet difficult to get a yes or no if it is in a particular location.
THERE ARE many work arounds for these types of questions.
If you are interested in what is at a location, you could cue up a target like this-
xyz location/describe contents/current time
This would give you a description of the contents of at the xyz location at the time you were TRVing it.
OR
If you are interested in where a particular widget is located you could cue up a target like this-
xyz widget/describe location/current time
OR if you are looking for something that is lost or misplaced you could cue up a target like this-
Kevin Pirolo/optimum trajectory/recovering xyz item/next 3 days
Have fun!
