0 0 0 1 peakup settle state, if a non-zero CONFIG mode
Peakup Holdoff Interval is specified the
controller will wait for 5 seconds before
starting the wait interval.
0 0 1 0 peakup wait state, the controller is waiting
for agc to begin a peakup.
0 0 1 1 an azimuth peakup is in progress
0 1 0 0 an elevation peakup is in progress
0 1 0 1 the peakup failed, either agc went away of a
peak limit error (the antenna moved too far
from the nominal position looking for a peak)
occurred, the antenna is returning to the
nominal az/el position (transient)
0 1 1 0 the peakup failed, either agc went away or a
peak limit error (the antenna moved too far
from the nominal position looking for a peak)
occurred, the antenna is returning to the
nominal az/el position

operation
The following error codes are active if an
axis error is detected during the peaking
operation.
0 0 1 0 2, Azimuth Drive, Jammed, or Runaway Error
0 0 1 1 3, Elevation Drive, Jammed, or Runaway Error
0 1 0 0 4, Polarization Drive, Jammed or Sensor Error
The following error codes activate if the
peakup routine determines that the next
azimuth or elevation movement will result in a
limit.
0 1 0 1 5, Azimuth CCW Limit
0 1 1 0 6, Azimuth CW Limit
