TABLE 5-40 MESSAGE PRINTER OPTIONS PARAMETERS
PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
Target change/standby
When Enabled, a message is printed on the message printer whenever the
ACU begins tracking a new target or when the ACU is placed in Standby.
The target name is printed, along with the target number [the position of
the target in the Track a target menu (target 1 is the first target in the
first column, target 6 is the first target in the second column)].
Faults
When Enabled, faults are printed on the message printer as they occur,
and fault acknowledgments are also printed.
New steptrack peak
When Enabled, a message is printed whenever Steptrack completes a
peaking cycle. The message includes the target name, target number,
date, time, and the antenna's current look angles.
New OPT solution
When Enabled, a message is printed whenever OPT completes generating
a new solution. The message includes the target name, target number,
and type of solution that has become available.
Parameter changes
When Enabled, a message is printed whenever changes are made (and
saved) to any system parameters or target configuration.
User level change
When Enabled, a message is printed whenever the user level is changed
on any port in the system.
System clock set
When Enabled, a message is printed when the user changes the system
date and/or time.
Tracking signal modified
When Enabled, a message is printed when tracking signal parameters
(frequency or polarization) are changed. Note that this message is NOT
printed when the signal source is changed by tracking a new target, even
if it changes the signal source.
Target scheduler status
When Enabled, whenever the Target scheduler changes to a new target,
the time and date for the next target are printed. A message is also
printed if the schedule is exhausted (empty) or an invalid entry is
discovered in the schedule.
Initialization messages
When Enabled, messages are printed as each phase of initialization is
completed. This parameter is usually only enabled for debugging
purposes.
Tag with current position
When Enabled, the current position is printed along with the timestamp
on the message. This is useful for troubleshooting position-dependent
faults.
Execution trace
Usually only enabled for debugging. When enabled, a message is printed
when:
- a menu item is executed,
- a menu is exited via [PRIOR],
- [MAIN] is pressed.
Messages are als
o printed for M&C items and menus, which usually
results in a large number of uninformative messages.
