If you just starting out with FreeFlyer scripting, you will have to test your code as you go. The main ways to test your code will be to output a value, plot your values, and output a viewwindow. The console gives you a way to neatly output values to do quick checks of data and verifications that your code is running correctly. It also can be a great way to output information if you a giving a presentation on your code. The console consolidates all the information so you don't have a bunch of report tabs open and can see information clearly from other sources. Note: don't use the console to output tables, it works best for reporting single values or comparing values. Copy and paste the below code into a FreeForm Script Element to quickly set up for console. Adjust as needed

// Console Setup
Console.DockMode = 3; //Console Location
Console.Dimension = 40; //Console size
Console.BackColor = ColorTools.Black; //Feel free to change the color
Console.CurrentTextColor = ColorTools.YellowGreen; //Feel free to change the color
Console.WindowTitle = "Insert name of code"; //change this
Console.WordWrap = 1;
Console.Show();

Report "This Mission Plan ...." to Console; //describe mission plan
Report " " to Console; //adds new line
