Sutron Corporation Satlink Operations & Maintenance Manual, Rev 8.04.2 11/3/2016 pg. 102
“ASCII Sensor” mode formats each sensor reading into four digits after multiplying the reading by
100. No decimal point is used in this format.
The specifics of formatting are covered in greater detail in TRANSMISSION DATA FORMATS
To see what your data will look like after it has been formatted, click the “Show Tx Data” button
in the Telemetry Status section of the telemetry tab.
10.2.6. Antenna Options
In the setup, you specify the antenna option: Yagi, Dome or Omni. Each of these choices
represent a type of antenna with different gain. Each satellite agency has specified the nominal
power for transmitting to the satellite. Depending on the gain of the antenna that is connected,
the transmitter must use the proper power in order to properly operate with the satellite. All
you need to do is tell Satlink what antenna is connected and the software does the rest. The
resultant transmission power is displayed on the screen. The following table shows the power
(during the carrier portion of the transmission) for each of the Satellite types.
10.2.7. Append Options
The "Append Options" add information to the end of the transmitted data. Not all options are
available for all transmission kinds. Not all transmission formats support all the append options.
Random transmissions always use Pseudobinary B formatting and only allow the
Lat/Long option.
ASCII Column format does not allow any append options.
All the other formats support all the append options.
Please see the TRANSMISSION DATA FORMATS section for formatting details.
The options are listed below.
10.2.7.1. Use SHEF Codes for Options
This setting is not an append option per se; it controls how the headers for the other append
options. If selected, standard SHEF codes are used as the headers. All the examples below use
SHEF codes.
