Description
A half-staff position depends on an applicable lowering instruction and a defined hoist-position reference.
A half-staff position depends on an applicable lowering instruction and a defined hoist-position reference.1
This tool applies a supplied lowering distance without deciding whether or when half-staff display is authorized.
When to use Half-Staff Hoist Position Calculator
Use this tool to apply the stated half-staff hoist position calculator operation with an explicit input and unit basis.
How to use Half-Staff Hoist Position Calculator and how it works
- Establish the measurement basis and units described above.
- Enter actualPoleTopHoistPosition, callerIndependentRequiredLoweringDistance and run the tool.
- Read result.qualifiedHalfStaffHoistPosition using the output meanings below.
- If input is rejected, correct the stated type, range, ordering or alignment issue and rerun; review successful results under the declared convention.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| actualPoleTopHoistPosition | Pole top hoist position, on the basis specified in the algorithm. | number | required; finite; strictly positive; further conditions in the algorithm |
| callerIndependentRequiredLoweringDistance | Required lowering distance, on the basis specified in the algorithm. | number | required; finite; nonnegative; further conditions in the algorithm |
Require positive top position and a nonnegative lowering distance no greater than that position. Subtract lowering from top; the result may be zero.
position = top position − lowering distance Apply the declared units, ordering and branch conditions.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| result | Object containing the declared output fields. | object |
| result.qualifiedHalfStaffHoistPosition | Supplied top position minus required lowering distance, in matching length units. | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
The output applies the declared operation to the values you supply. Establish the measurement basis, units, coefficients and any caller-selected rules before interpreting it. The tool does not independently collect or verify observations or decide whether a model or reference applies.
Supply explicit required fields with the documented types and dense aligned arrays. Unknown fields, wrong types and nonfinite numbers are rejected. Branch-specific constraints are explained above. A successful false boolean, negative signed difference, empty slice or unresolved tie is distinct from an input error. Very large inputs or outputs may be rejected by shared resource limits.
Alternative or Complementary methods
For a related operation, use Precedence Order Rank Resolver (two flags). Flag precedence ranks summarize an independently established display protocol.
For a related operation, use Multiple Flag Row Ordering Planner. A row of flags can be organized into priority groups after precedence ranks have been independently established.
