3.3.1.2.6 Autopeak

This screen defines how the autopeak functions of the LOCATE mode are configured.
LOCATE SOURCE:8
TARGET PEAK:2
<0-NONE 1,2-RECx 5-RF 6-DVB 8-AUTO>
LOCATE SOURCE:
The locate_source item defines if which source of input will be used for autopeak operations.
TARGET PEAK:
The target_peak item defines if an additional peakup will be performed on the satellite after the standard
azimuth autopeak has been completed. Refer to
SCAN
This item specifies modified scan ranges that will be used if the original autopeak scan does not result in
a successful auto-locate.
SCAN TRIES = 1 >> The controller will attempt only a single scan during LOCATE. The scan range is
defined in the SS1/SS2/RF SIGNAL FACTORS screens.
SCAN TRIES = 2 >> The controller will attempt a single scan during LOCATE using the range defined in
the SS1/SS2/RF SIGNAL FACTORS screens. If the first scan is unsuccessful, then the RC4000 will
attempt a second scan that doubles the scan range.
SCAN TRIES = 3 >> The controller will attempt a single scan during LOCATE using the range defined in
the /SS2/RF SIGNAL FACTORS screens. If the first scan is unsuccessful, then the RC4000 will attempt
a second scan that doubles the scan range. If the second scan in unsuccessful, then the RC4000 will
attempt a third scan that will move limit to limit in the Azimuth axis.
POL AUTOMOVE
This item lets the user specify whether or not the LOCATE mode should attempt to automatically orient
the polarization axis.
TILT:
This item specifies if additional movements are to be made during the LOCATE function in order to
characterize the pitch and roll of the platform. Refer to
