STOW & DEPLOY WITH OPTIONAL MULTI-FEED OPERATION
Refer to
section 3.3.1.2.4
implement a multi-feed scheme.
When a multi-feed scheme is in use, the STOW & DEPLOY screen is split into two separate CONFIG
mode screens. The first screen is used to set the AZ and EL stow and deploy positions, the second
screen is used to set the POL stow and deploy positions for each feed type implemented.
AZ/EL STOW & DEPLOY
The AZ/EL STOW & DEPLOY group allows the user to change the target positions for STOW and
DEPLOY movements for the azimuth and elevation axes.
AZ_STW:
EL_STW: -67.5 EL_DEP:
AZIMUTH STOW <-180.0/180.0>
AZ_STW:
EL_STW:
These items define the STOW position.
AZ_DEP:
EL_DEP:
These items define the DEPLOY position.

On certain mounts there needs to be a delay between the time that the elevation stow limit is sensed and
when the elevation motor is de-energized. For mounts where this is not the case, this item is ignored by
setting to 0.0 seconds.
Alternatively, on antennas which implement a current-based stow, the SNUG item represents the amount
of current output to the elevation motor that must be reached after the antenna reaches the stow limit for
the motor to be de-energized.
