three modes, that is, Angle, Phase, and Telem. mode. The default speed
of the antenna is about 15 deg/sec. You can change the speed using the
additional command Speed (see section Monitor PTU Command Display
on page 48). You can slow down the antenna movement by pressing the
direction and SLOW SPEED keys simultaneously. The speed is then 5
deg/sec. You can press or release the SLOW SPEED key at any time
when the direction key is pressed. The antenna control processor slows
down or accelerates the speed of the antenna automatically according to
the key combination.
In the auto tracking mode, the direction keys are not active during the
sounding, except before the launch and two minutes after the radiosonde
release. During this period, it is possible to manually override the
automatic tracking using the direction keys. After the direction keys are
released, the automatic tracking will immediately resume automatically.
You can change the tracking mode using
AUTO/MANUAL key as explained in section
AUTO/MANUAL Key on page 57.
