COBHAM SAILOR 100 GX User Manual

Calibration
6-10 Chapter 6: Configuration 99-145912-A
User controlled azimuth calibration with user defined input
1. On the page SERVICE > Calibration, in the section Azimuth
calibration (user controlled), select User defined in the
Satellite drop down list.
2. Type in the longitude of the satellite. See Table 6-1 on page 6-5
3. Type in its tracking frequency.
4. Select Satellite identifier: GSC, NID, Orbital position (DVB-S,
DVB-S2)
1
5. Click Start and wait typically 5 minutes for the azimuth calibration
to finish. A progress bar is shown during calibration and a message is
displayed when the calibration has completed. In case of failure, see
the table in the following section for a description of error codes
during calibration.
User-controlled azimuth calibration with a service profile
1. Click SERVICE > Calibration.
2. Select the service profile in the drop down list Satellite. All profiles
with the VSAT modem Service GX are displayed in the list. If there
is no profile in the list see Service profile for calibration on page 6-4.
3. Click Start in the section Azimuth calibration and wait typically
5 minutes for the calibration to finish. After finished calibration a
message with the result of the calibration is displayed in the field
Result.
Important
The calibration function is not able to verify the
correctness or precision of the supplied longitude. It is
therefore important to supply the correct longitude
including the first decimal.
1. Use Orbital position and NID if you want to use NID or orbital position
or other KA band satellites with DVB-S2 support. The DVB symbol rate
must be >5 Ms/s. For NID use preferably a unique NID (ONID). An
azimuth calibration without NID can be useful in regions where the
satellite operators do not broadcast NID (US, China, Australia etc.). For
NID=0 the NID is not used when checking the satellite link. For NID 1 to
65535 the supplied NID is matched against the Network ID broadcast
by the satellite. For orbital position the supplied longitude is matched
with the orbital position broadcast by the satellite. Not all service
providers broadcast the orbital position.
Important
It is strongly recommended to verify the result of
a calibration performed with user defined data.
This can be done by making a new calibration on a
different satellite and verify that the resulting
Azimuth calibration value differs less than one
degree.
