5.0 OPERATION
5.1 Introduction
This section of the manual provides the procedures for operation of the 7200 ACS.
The 7200 ACS contains on-line help that is accessible by simply pressing the
[HELP] key on the front panel keypad (refer to Section 5.3 for information on the
7200 help system).
This section begins by giving the user an introduction to the 7200 ACS menu and
help systems. For clarity, all menu items (and system messages and prompts) that
appear in text will be in boldface type and shown in text exactly as they appear on
the display. All key names are presented in square brackets ([]).
The 7200 ACU has a Simulation mode that can be used for training purposes or for
becoming familiar with the system before beginning system operation. For more
information on the ACU simulator, refer to Section
5.8.6.7.
Manual antenna control, instructions on how to use the tracking functions of the
system, and procedures for editing the tracking data and system configuration are
included in this section.
5.2 The 7200 ACS Menu System
The menu system provides access to all of the capabilities of the 7200 ACS and is
structured according to system functions. The menu system is displayed in the
lower portion of the display on the front panel of the ACU and each "screen" is
titled for convenience. Items displayed that are followed by "..." are menus. The
arrow keys on the 7200 keypad may be used to place the cursor on any menu
item. If [ENTER] is then pressed, the relevant screen for the item chosen will be
displayed and depending on the item chosen, the new screen may contain one, or
a combination, of the following items:
• a function [e.g., "Return to standby (stop tracking)"]
• a parameter (e.g., "Target name")
• a menu (e.g., "Edit schedule...")
Alternatively, a user may pick an item from a visible list by entering the number of
its position in that list; (for example: to select the Tracking Functions… menu,
press [1] then [ENTER]). The menu items are numbered 0-9, starting at the top,
left column first.
On-line help is available for all menus, functions, and parameters. The help system
for the 7200 ACS is described in detail in Section
5.3. Pressing [HELP] will display
either help for the entire system, or help related to the item that is highlighted.
