====== Distance Perpendicular To Path ======

||

The command Distance_Perpendicular_To_Path computes the perpendicular distance from a point along a path (P in the figure above) to a straight path defined as the Position at Event1 to position at Event2.

In the above figure, the red line is the perpendicular distance from the point P. For example:

\\
**Distance_Perpendicular_To_Path**

**/SIGNAL_TYPES=**TARGET

**/SIGNAL_NAMES=**MID_PSIS

**! /SIGNAL_FOLDER=**ORIGINAL

**/RESULT_NAME=**PSIS_DISTANCE

**! /RESULT_FOLDER=**PROCESSED

**/EVENT_NAME_START=**START

**/EVENT_NAME_STOP=**STOP

**/NORMALIZE_TO_DISTANCE=**FALSE

**;**

Normalize to distance results in dividing the resulting perpendicular distance to the distance along the straight path
