Unit Calibration & Positioner Verification (non-FSM)
Calibrating Vertical Movement to Zero Degrees
IMPORTANT:
IF THE PLATFORM ANGLE AND SOFTWARE ANGLE DO NOT MATCH:
Use the Jog +/- pull-downs to move the platform to the level position. Once you have
reached the desired position, press "ZERO POSITIONER" to set the current physical
position as "0,0".
NOTE: If you exit the software without returning to zero, you must follow the
Verifying Positioner Connectivity and Operation
These steps will assist you with verifying the x000 Series positioner's operation with the
DAMS software. All steps for installing and configuring the software and connecting
cables should be completed before performing the following steps.
1. Ensure power supply is plugged in and start the DAMS Software.
2. Elevation / Vertical Movement Test
Select -45 from "El jog to"
45 degrees towards reference antenna. Select +45 from "El jog to" pull-down and
positioner should tilt
3. Azimuth / Horizontal Movement Test
Select 180 from "Az jog to" pull-down. Positioner should rotate 180 degrees of
reference antenna. Select 360 from "Az jog to" pull-down and positioner should
finish the rotation to 360 degrees.
4. Resetting to 0, 0 Degrees
After completing the tests, click
move the positioner to 0 degrees azimuth and 0 degrees elevation.
Testing and Calibration Complete
Proceed to the Antenna Measurement Studio
Installation chapter to complete the installation
and begin making measurements.
For the software to move the platform correctly on the vertical
axis you must have the platform at zero degrees when starting
the DAMS Software, or the platform must match the vertical
position shown in the software before moving vertically.
