Mr. Anderson
February 10, 2025

To build satellite channel plans for the Promax ATLAS NG, follow these steps:

1. If a proper channel plan is not available, you can add or create a new one.
2. Channels in a channel plan have pre-set parameters, including supply voltage, polarization, and satellite band.
3. These parameters cannot be changed from the Tuning menu.
4. Select a span (recommended value for satellite: 100 MHz).
5. Adjust the reference level.
6. Adjust your frequency or select a channel.
7. You can search for a frequency or channel by dragging left or right on the screen.
8. When the marker is on the carrier, it should automatically lock, turning the bottom toolbar green.
9. If not locked, the bottom toolbar turns red.
10. Once locked, the signal is automatically demodulated, showing video and signal parameters.

This process allows for the creation and adjustment of satellite channel plans on the ATLAS NG.
