RC2000A Dual Axis Antenna Controller
POSITION ANTENNA, SELECT
SATELLITE USING SCROLL UP/DOWN,HIT ENTER
The initial screen is replaced by the following screen.
AZ: 1292 EL: 60 PL: 66 H
SAT:TELSTAR301 SELECT:SBS 6
When this screen is displayed, the ARROW keys may be used to jog the antenna in elevation and
azimuth, the SPEED key may be used to toggle the azimuth and elevation jog speed, and the CW,
CCW, H and V keys may be used to adjust the polarization. (The H and V keys are active only if at least
one satellite has been previously stored in non-volatile memory.). The SCROLL UP and SCROLL
DOWN keys may be used to select the satellite name (in the 'SELECT:' field) which will be stored in
non-volatile memory. If the user selects the 'USER' entry from the satellite list, he or she will be
prompted to enter in a string of characters (after the ENTER key) is depressed. The entry of user
defined satellite names is described in section 4.4.1. While this screen is active the user peaks up the
antenna on the satellite which is to be stored in non-volatile memory. When the ENTER key is
depressed the user is usually prompted to specify the satellite longitude.
If the satellite name present in the 'SELECT:' field when the ENTER key was depressed is already
stored in non-volatile memory, the user is presented with the following screen.
SELECT:SBS 6
OVERWRITE EXISTING DATA, USE YES/NO KEYS
If the user selects NO the initial screen is displayed and the selection process is repeated.
The user is next prompted to specify the satellite longitude with the following screen.
SELECT:SBS 6
ENTER SAT LON LLL.L: 99.0 W 0-9.ENT,BKSP
If the satellite name was not user defined, a value will be present in the longitude field. The longitude is
specified in degrees.tenths_of_degrees. This information is not used in any way by the controller. It is
displayed beside the satellite name in MANUAL mode.
After the longitude has been specified, the user is presented with the following screen (if at least one
satellite has been stored in non-volatile memory).
SELECT:SBS 6
1-H/V DATA FROM NEAREST SAT,2-USER ENTRY
This screen prompts the user to specify the source of the horizontal and vertical polarization data, which
will be stored in non-volatile memory. If the 1 key is depressed the polarization positions will be
obtained from the satellite in non-volatile memory which is closest to the antenna's present azimuth
position. Please refer to section 3.6 for more information concerning this option.
If the user selects the USER ENTRY option, the following screen is displayed.
SELECT:SBS 6
USE CW, CCW TO ADJUST - H, V KEYS TO SET
When this screen is displayed the CW and CCW keys may be used to adjust the polarization and the H
and V keys may be used to set each polarization.
