Setup Mode
In SETUP mode, for inclined orbits satellites, the controller will prompt for satellite lat/lon and
inclination. These values are not used by the tracking algorithms and these prompts will be
removed in a future revision of the software.
PC Remote Control
The controller's REMOTE mode has not been tested. The software was modified to support
remote operation. The comm protocol of the RC1500 is nearly identical to that of the RC2000.
With the 1500, for the Query Status command, antenna position and status are reported in the
RC2000's azimuth fields. The elevation fields in the reply have been blanked out.
For the Auto Move to Target Position command the antenna position should be reported in the
azimuth field.
For the Miscellaneous - Reset Axis command, to remotely reset a drive fault either the 'A' or 'E'
sub parameter will reset the drive.
