Monitor
This view provides a UI which can monitor all data that has been received from the ACU.
• Tracking: turns on or off the dish scan function. If the dish scan function
is disabled, the antenna will stop adjusting the antenna pointing angle in
order to optimize the receive signal level.
• Rate Sensor Bias: is used to calibrate the DC voltage output from the
three rate sensors (azimuth, elevation, and cross-level). These are used to
sense antenna motion that corresponds to the ship’s motion (roll, pitch,
and yaw) for stabilizing the pedestal. You can nd the same function in
Antenna-Advanced View Tab. Refer to page 17 for details.
• Show Param: shows the current antenna parameters.
• Check NID: veries the NID (network ID) of the current tracking transponder.
Press the NID button to obtain the NID only if the antenna is locked onto
the desired satellite.
• Start DEBUG: starts the debug log of the antenna.
• Stop DEBUG: stops debug logging of the antenna.
• Save Debug (Start): saves the debug messages and the log messages of
the antenna simultaneously into a *.txt le once pressed.
• Save Debug (Stop): stops saving the debug messages and the log messages
of the antenna once pressed.
• Clear View: clears the debug message or log data in monitoring window.
