ANTENNA CONTROL SOFTWARE
System Property Status Dashboard
The property status dashboard on the left pane of the screen provides the antenna
status, the availability of TX transmission, signal level, GPS and heading status,
software information, product information and error status to be monitored quickly.
Antenna Status: Displays the status of the current mode of the antenna.
- Search 1: A Search 1 pattern will automatically be initiated when the ship’s
heading input does not exist or if it fails. The search cycle will repeat until the
antenna receives the lock signal from the modem or until the DVB transponder
of the target satellite is decoded by the antenna.
- Search 2: Search 2 is reserved for future use.
- Search 3: Search 3 pattern will automatically be initiated when AGC(NBD mode
is in use) or SIG(DVB mode is in use) falls below the current tracking level
threshold value. Once the desired signal is found and above the predened
tracking threshold, the ACU will enter to tracking mode.
- Tracking: Antenna is tracking the target satellite.
- Initialize: Antenna or ACU is initializing.
- Setup: Antenna is in SETUP mode.
