Below the target table the ACU shows the actually selected target, the initial pointing mode to be
used with the next Go command anf the save mode.
Actually selected: This displays the name and number of the actually tracked satellite as
well as the currently active tracking mode. If the antenna is tracking, a STOP_TRACKING
label is shown, permitting to stop trackinng before moving to another satellite without leaving
this page. The Actually selected: field may be empty if the Antenna has been moved since
a target has been selected.
Initial pointing mode: With this selection you may overwrite the initial pointing mode stored
with a target. With the next Go command the selected initial pointing is executed unless you
have made the selection 'use initial pointing as stored with target'.
Save mode: The selection in this field affects the next Save command.
save all --- Saves all actual tracking settings and the content of the tracking memory to
the selected target number. This includes the actual pointing angles as the angles
stored with the taget.
exclude pointing angles --- Saves the actual tracking settings and the content of the
tracking memory to the selected target number as well, but leaves the pointing angles
stored with the target unchanged. You may want to use this option to update a target
memory without replacing the center of box position by the actual pointing angles.
The target table itself displays 20 of the stored target memories. By clicking the icons in the table,
settings may be stored, recalled or deleted:
Go --- If a memory location has stored a pointing, the table shows a blue arrow in the 'Go'
column of the table. Clicking to this arrow recalls the settings stored for that target as well as
the stored tracking data for this satellite and moves the antenna to position according to the
selected initial pointing mode. After the antenna has reached this position, the tracking mode
stored with the target gets activated. The ACU displays a confirmation dialog before it
actually recalls the target memory. Only if you click to 'Submit' in this dialog, the antenna
moves to the stored location. With ADAPTIVE tracking, the ACU uses the stored tracking
data to calculate a model as soon as tracking ist started as long as the stored tracking data
is not outdated.
Save --- For each memory location the table shows a floppy disk icon in the 'Save' column.
Clicking to this icon saves the actual tracking parameters, the tracking memory and - if at the
bottom of the page Save mode is set to save all - also the actual antenna pointing to the
selected memory location. Again, there is a confirmation dialog page before the data actually
is saved.
Edit --- For each memory location the table shows a document edrt icon in the 'Edit' column.
Clicking to this icon opens the target editor page for this target memory. With this editor you
can edit the stored parmeters in a target memory without actually applying them. Chapter
