SourceVRF - Rest frame in which the source velocity is stored (SpecFrames  only)

Description:
This attribute identifies the rest frame in which the source velocity is stored (the source velocity is accessed using attribute SourceVel). When setting a new value for the SourceVel attribute, the source velocity should be supplied in the rest frame indicated by this attribute. Likewise, when getting the value of the SourceVel attribute, the velocity will be returned in this rest frame.

If the value of SourceVRF is changed, the value stored for SourceVel will be converted from the old to the new rest frame.

The values that can be supplied are the same as for the StdOfRest  attribute (except that SourceVRF cannot be set to "Source"). The default value is "Helio".


Type:
String.
