Restrict a Satellite's Yaw, Pitch, and Roll angles

Information

 
ProblemFor a satellite with target pointing attitude, how can I restrict the YPR angles so that it only points within a user-specified threshold?
Solution
Given a satellite and a number of potential ground targets to image, you can set the attitude to override the basic profile and point to each assigned target. In the scenario, Analysis Workbench is used to set limits on the satellite's yaw, pitch, and roll angles. Satisfaction intervals were defined to determine the times at which the satellite remains within these thresholds (conditionally 1 if satisfied, -1 if not satisfied). The Restricted satellite's attitude is then set to only point within the satisfaction time intervals. The YPR angles, angle rates, and satisfaction criteria is shown in the 3D graphics window as a data display.

The completed scenario is attached, along with a step-by-step tutorial to build this scenario from scratch.
