ANTENNA CONTROL SOFTWARE
· Search Step: set increment step size.
· Type 1 & Type 3 (Search 1 & 3) Range: set Search 1 & 3 search
range. Search 3 is conducted in a two-axis pattern consisting of
alternate movements in azimuth and elevation as it forms an
expanding square.
· Type 2 (Search 2) Range: is reserved for future use.
- Blockage Zone
Displays current blockage zones by azimuth and elevation sectors. Up to 5 block-
age zones can be programmed. Once the blockage zone is created, a blue shad-
ing area will be displayed in the Antenna UI view on the right.
- Threshold Settings
· DVB Detect Level: displays and sets signal detection threshold
level when DVB tracking mode is in use.
· DVB Tracking Level: displays and sets signal tracking threshold
level when DVB tracking mode is in use.
· NBD Detect Level: displays and sets signal detection threshold
level when NBD tracking mode is in use.
· NBD Tracking Level: displays and sets signal tracking threshold
level when NBD tracking mode is in use.
· TX Enable Threshold: displays and sets TX enable threshold.
3. Satellite (Satellite View)
This view provides information on the Satellite’s Information, Tracking Common
Information, DVB and NBD Tracking Transponder, LNB Local Frequency, and Sat-
ellite Library. This view shows a graphic UI of the current satellite that the antenna
is pointing at and the satellites that are located at a 180° arc on the horizon with
reference to the current position (See Antenna UI on page 103).
NOTE: Based on the satellite EIRP footprint and the size of the antenna, you may not
be able to track all the satellites visible in 180° arc.
- Satellite Information: displays the current satellite’s name, longitude position,
and satellite skew of the satellite in the library.
- Tracking Common Information: displays the current LNB local oscillator fre-
quency that is in use and the corresponding voltage supplied. Selects the tracking
mode (DVB / NBD) to be used and sets polarization (Horizontal / Vertical) for the
RX pol and the TX pol.
