Search 3 pattern
Search 3: a search 3 pattern will automatically be initiated when AGC / SIG falls
below the current tracking level threshold value. If the desired signal is found and
above the predened tracking level, the ACU will terminate Search 3 and go into
TRACKING Menu. A search pattern will automatically be initiated when AGC / SIG
falls below the current threshold setting (this indicates that satellite signal has been
lost). The search patterns are conducted in a two-axis pattern consisting of alternate
movements in azimuth (AZ) and elevation (EL) (like its forming an expanding square
indicated within the diagram below).
