8.2.2.2 Offset
EL 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 to produce an accurate
(+/- 2°) Elevation Angle.
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.
Target AZ Offset
This value would be added/used to calculate system azimuth angle to compensate for any consistent

by the iNetVu software once the system locks on the correct satellite and auto calibration
occurs.
Polarization Offset (PL)
By default, this polarization-offset value is set to 0°. If there happens to be a requirement for a
polarization offset, the user may manually enter this value in this area. This area is also
updated automatically if the skew adjustment procedure recognizes an incline which will adjust
the target polarization angle.
