Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for determining the available power capacity of an electric power supply, such as a battery, in a transmitter of a tracking and telemetry system by simulating, determining and analysing the secondary electrical behaviour of one or more electronic circuits fed by the power supply, among which electronic components and integrated circuits.

Abstract: A tracking and telemetry system includes at least one transmitter and at least one receiver. The at least one transmitter is arranged for transmitting a first or identification signal according to a time schedule, and the at least one receiver is arranged for receiving the transmitted first signal. The at least one transmitter is arranged for receiving a second or programming signal and setting or adapting or otherwise altering the time schedule for the transmission of the first signal in response to the second signal. Furthermore, there are provided a transmitter and a programming station arranged for setting or adapting or otherwise altering the time schedule in response to said second signal.
