2.1.2.2.2.3.2 HEADING

When the user chooses to modify the heading, a screen appears showing three options for updating the
current heading.

< 2 > E N T E R T R U E H E A D I N G

<1>ENTER MAGNETIC HEADING
M A G V A R :
< 0 - 9 . > E N T E R D E G R E E S
When option 1 is selected, the user is prompted to ender a magnetic heading of the antenna. After
magnetic heading is entered, the RC4080 will apply the magnetic variation to generate the true heading
of the mount's azimuth centerline.
<2>ENTER TRUE HEADING
M A G V A R :
< 0 - 9 . > E N T E R D E G R E E S
When option 2 is selected, the user is prompted to enter a true heading of the antenna. After true
heading is entered, the RC4080 will apply the magnetic variation to generate the magnetic heading of the
mount's azimuth centerline.
<3>GET HEADING FROM COMPASS
C M P H D G : 1 8 0 . 0
O F F S E T :
M A G V A R :
H E A D I N G : 1 8 1 . 6
When option 3 is selected, the RC4080 will pull in the heading from the compass. After the compass
heading has been pulled in, the RC4080 will apply the offset and the magnetic variation to generate the
heading of the mount's azimuth centerline. Once complete the controller will automatically move back to
the main LOCATION screen. Note that if movement is required to acquire the compass information, the
following screen will be displayed so the user can confirm the movement.
