- Program Simulation
Program Simulation allows the user to set the serial
communication protocol used by the rotator. When set to emulate
another brand of rotator, the AlfaSpid will respond to commands,
and send responses back to the computer as if it were the rotator
brand selected. If your favourite software supports a rotator,
chances are, the AlfaSpid will be able to interface to your software.
There are 4 modes available:
- Spid (
A
lfaSpid )
- Orion
- Hygain
- Yaesu
- Heading Adjust (numbers blinking)
This setting can be used to make minor heading adjustments
without causing the rotator to turn. If you notice that the heading
displayed on the controller to a known signal source is out by a few
degrees, you can change the heading displayed on the LED readout
to match the known heading, rather than having to turn back to North
and reset the controller.
