Step Track Hold Az
Threshold
4 Float 0.01-2
The amount of pedestal azimuth travel, in degrees,
before Position Hold becomes active.
Step Track Hold El
Threshold
4 Float 0.01-2
The amount of pedestal elevation travel, in degrees,
before Position Hold becomes active.
Step Track Hold
Gradient Threshold
4 Integer 0-10000
The maximum signal change that will not cause a
peaking decision mistake during step track peaking.
If this value is exceeded by the Current Signal
Gradient (sensor output) then the peaking delay
time will be reset and the antenna will not peak. Set
to 0 to disable the threshold.
Step Track Hold
Noise Threshold
4 Integer 0-10000
The maximum signal variance (noise) that will cause
a peaking decision mistake during step track
peaking. If this value is exceeded by the Current
Signal Noise (sensor output) then the peaking delay
time will be reset and the antenna will not peak. Set
to 0 to disable the threshold.
Step Track Hold
Operating Mode
4 Choice
“Step Track Only”,
“Position Hold
Only”, “Step Track”
and “Position Hold”
The mode in which Step Track Hold should operate,
if it is to perform Step Track operations, Position
Hold operations, or both.
Step Track Hold
Peaking Delay
4 Float 1-3600
The time interval in seconds from the end of the last
peaking cycle to the start of the next peaking cycle.
The timer interval restarts at the end of the last
peaking cycle or when the gradient and/or noise
threshold is exceeded.
Tracking Method 4 Choice
“None”,
“StepTrackHold”,
<Any other tracking
modules uploaded>
Tracking Method to use after an Acquisition has
been completed
