4. Start-Up Procedure
4.1 Start Up
Ensure cables are connected correctly, particularly the ST sensor umbilical.
Connect the PSU D-tap to the D-tap-to-ODU cable to power the StarTracker Max.
Push the power button if the unit fails to boot. It can take 30 seconds for the software to
load. Messages will display and disappear. If error messages remain after sixty seconds,
please record these messages and check the troubleshooting guide of this manual.
When using external lens encoders operate zoom and focus from one end stop to the other
following start-up. Do zoom and focus separately. This process will calibrate lens encoder
range end stops, repeating after each power cycle.
Menus are, by default, locked to prevent accidental clicks. To unlock right click within the
button. To protect again, simply, right click and the padlock symbol will show. Some
submenus and buttons have locks too.
Tooltips are displayed while hovering, look out for messages at the screen bottom.
In order to access an advanced feature, select the Advanced Mode in Main menu.
To hide the menu, to clear screen, click a non-menu area of the screen or press ESC
4.2 Engineering Mode
To make changes to hardware settings, or anything that is outside the StarTracker GUI and that
is modied in the operating system (software installs, WiFi settings) you need to boot into
Engineering mode.
For that keep tapping up-key during start-up immediately after powering up the unit.
Keep pressing the up-key every 20 seconds, until you see the boot menu.
Choose “Engineering Mode” from the menu. The StarTracker software will be launched
automatically.
You can tell it is in Engineering mode by the orange border around the StarTracker GUI and the
“ENGINEERING MODE” indicator under the optical status.
It is rare to use it for standard operations in the StarTracker, this includes network settings,
StarTracker software updates, copying maps and cong les. In the manual we will tell you when
to boot into Engineering mode.
To learn how to set up Wi-Fi for remote support go to Troubleshooting section at the end.
