5.8.6.5.1 Soft Limits
Soft limits are normally enabled, but they are disabled during site acceptance
testing to allow the antenna to reach the travel limit switches.
The Lower/CCW soft limits [deg] and Upper/CW soft limits [deg] define the range
of motion of the antenna. These limits are normally set such that when the soft
limit is reached while traveling at slew speed, the limit switches are not yet
engaged.
