3.3.1.3.10 Stow & Deploy Positions
The STOW & DEPLOY group allows the user to change the target positions for STOW and DEPLOY
movements.
AZ_STW:
EL_STW: -67.5
PL STW:
AZIMUTH STOW <-180.0/180.0>
AZ_STW:
EL_STW:
PL_STW:
These items define the STOW position.
AZ_DEP:
EL_DEP:
PL_DEP:
These items define the DEPLOY position.
PL_ENABLE:
This item defines whether or not the polarization axis is moved during a STOW and/or DEPLOY.
0 – the polarization axis will not be moved as part of either STOW or DEPLOY
1 – polarization will move to the PL STW position as part of STOW (no DEPLOY movement)
2 – polarization will move to the PL DEP position as part of DEPLOY (no STOW movement)
3 – polarization will move during both STOW and DEPLOY
NOTE: the default value is to have polarization move during DEPLOY to be consistent with earlier
versions of the software. Default STOW movement is per mount.
EL_TIME:
On certain mounts there needs to be a delay between the time that the elevation stow limit is sensed and
when the elevation motor is deenergized. For mounts where this is not the case, this item is ignored.
