Chapter 4: General programming at NCD
Addressing the several devices
If several devices are connected to the NCD, the controllable device needs to be addressed.
For example (One Antenna Mast and one Turntable)
"LD 0 DV" for the Antenna Mast
"LD 1 DV" for the Turntable.
This applies for setting a new position and for readout of the actual position of a device!
Speed setting of a device
You can set speed 1 to 8 with the SP-Register. To change the speed of the turntable, make
the following two steps:
Select the Turntable “LD 1 DV”
Write "LD 5 SP" sets the speed to five. The speed depends on the maximum speed of the
device.
For example the maximum speed of the turntable is 2.0 U/min
(2.0 ÷ 8) * 5 = 1.25 U/min is the new speed
The maximum speed of each device can be readout in the device-menu of the NCD.
Note: The polarisation speed of the antenna mast cannot be change!
Go to a new position
For setting a new position of the turntable make the following two steps:
Select the Turntable “LD 1 DV”
Write the command "LD 180.0 DG NP GO" (the turntable moves to 180 degree)
With the commands "CC" and "CW" it is possible to move the turntable to minimum and
maximum limit.
“CC” – Turntable moves to minimum limit (e.g.: -200 degree)
“CW” – Turntable moves to maximum limit (e.g.: +400 degree)
For stopping the turntable make the following two steps:
Select the turntable “LD 1 DV”
Write the command "ST"
For setting a new position of the antenna mast follow the same steps:
Except: Select the antenna mast with writing "LD 0 DV"
Write the command "LD 300.0 CM NP GO" (the antenna mast moves to 3.0 meter)
For polarization of the antenna mast write "PV" and "PH".
