8.2.2.2 Offset
EL Offset
The inclinometer used to read the elevation angle will compensate for an incline up to +/- 15º. For
example if a user is on a 10º slope and the system is searching along the azimuth, if the elevation reading
changes due to a horizontal incline, the elevation will adjust to maintain the correct elevation angle while
searching along the azimuth Offset.
The Elevation Offset is specific to each type of platform. It is the number of degrees at which the iNetVu
Mobile Software will offset the reading from the Inclinometer in order to produce an accurate (+/- 2°)
Elevation Angle.
Compass Offset
It's the required adjustment to reorient the compass heading to the actual magnetic North by taking into
consideration the metal surrounding around the compass location on the Antenna platform. This value is
calculated automatically by the iNetVu software once the system gets automatically pointed to the right
satellite.
