Azimuth calibration
Azimuth calibration is done toward a satellite of a known position. After finding the
satellite, the system can calculate the azimuth offset of the ADU installation. The satellite
and transponder properties for the calibration can be selected from a list of service profiles
or supplied manually.
You can make an azimuth calibration in the following ways:
•
Automatic azimuth calibration with an active satellite profile
•
Azimuth calibration (user controlled)
•
Azimuth calibration with a service profile
Automatic azimuth calibration with an active satellite profile
You can enable automatic azimuth calibration, even if there is no line of sight to an azimuth
calibration satellite from the place of installation. To be able to use this feature you must
have made a valid satellite profile and have activated it. When the vessel leaves the harbour
and gets line of sight to the satellite, the system automatically finds and tracks the satellite
and makes the azimuth calibration. After a successful azimuth calibration the ACU will
automatically disable the setting

To enable automatic azimuth calibration, do as follows:
1. Create a modem profile, see
2. Create a satellite profile, see
3. Click

and
Activate
the satellite profile.
Note
If the target satellite is in inclined orbit, the elevation range is extended
accordingly.
