azimuth position
This field will contain the formatted azimuth position
-180.0 to 180.0. If the analog to digital converter detects an
error this field will contain '******'.
NOTE: If the primary azimuth sensor is the fluxgate compass,
this field will display a value from 0.0 to 359.9 in bytes 14-18.
Byte 19 will display either a "M" or "T" to indicate whether the
value in bytes 14-18 represent a M(agnetic) or T(rue) heading
value.
elevation position
This field will contain the formatted elevation position,
-180.0 to 180.0. If the analog to digital converter detects an error
this field will contain '******'.
polarization position
This field will contain the formatted polarization position -180.0 to
180.0. If the analog to digital converter detects an error this field
will contain '******'.
azimuth limits -- binary data
3 2 1 0
A '0' in a bit position implies that the antenna is not at the limit, a
'1' in the bit position implies that the antenna is at the limit. Here
is the mapping of bit positions to the limits ...
A – Azimuth Clockwise
B – Azimuth Counterclockwise
C – Azimuth Stow
