Azimuth Stall Timeout
The Azimuth Stall Timeout (AzStallTimeout) sets the maximum allowed time
that Azimuth Torque Limit (AzTorqueLimit) and Azimuth Current Limit
(AzCurrentLimit) can exceed their values before the J1 Controller stops the Dish
Mount.
This time is displayed in milliseconds (ms) where 1000 ms = 1 second.
Over time if gears and chains loosen beyond typical specifications, increasing the
Stall Timeout may prevent motor error messages. If this value needs to be
increase by more than 200% of default value then the mount should be repaired.
Decreasing the Stall Timeout value is not recommended and will cause error
messages.
Making adjustments to this setting without the direction of MotoSAT Technical
Support could cause the system to not function properly.
Azimuth Count Limit
The Azimuth Count Limit (AzCountLimit) displays the actual measured total
counts of travel from maximum limit to minimum (stowed) limit. This value
should be approximately the default defined limits.
To see the defined limits open a telnet session and type "showmotors"

As the Dish Mount ages and gears and chains loosen the defined values may need
to be modified to keep the measured values in tolerance. This can only be
accomplished though exporting, modifying (defined limits), and importing the
configuration file. See Import/Export Files.

Support could cause the system to not function properly.
