Part II: Settings and Measurements
Once you select a satellite and determine the local coordinates, the unit can auto-calculate the azimuth,
elevation, and LNB polarization angles. Each transponder test result uses a different color display based on
preset thresholds (limits). Tap THRESHOLD to open the threshold setup dialog (below).
First, consider the elevation angle. A line, traced backwards from the direction the satellite is pointing,
coincides with the ground to form the elevation angle. The azimuth angle, meanwhile, spans from direct
north to the direction the antenna is pointing, measured clockwise. As shown, a satellite located straight to
north has an azimuth angle of 0 degrees, to the east has an azimuth angle of 90 degrees, to the south is 180
degrees and west is 270 degrees.
