Exclusive Grouping

Sometimes sensor modes cannot operate simultaneously. For example Radarsat-2 SAR instrument provides 12 different modes which cannot operate simultaneously. In SaVoir they are configured as separate sensors. To ensure exclusive operation they are configured with an Exclusive Group Flag, consisting of a simple text string. Sensors having the same Grouping flag cannot operate simultaneously. When scheduling acquisitions over an Area of Interest only one sensor will be selected. Selection is done according to Sensor priority. Sensors with highest priority (lowest number) will be scheduled first.

For example if you have selected RADARSAT-2-Fine (priority 3) and RADARSAT-2-Multi-Look Fine (priority 6) and both are configured with the SAR Exclusive Group flag, SaVoir will select RADARSAT-2-Fine acquisitions because of highest priority.
