be pointed manually (with automatic tracking off) then select “

Change Control: manual

”. Then the user can

control   the   antenna   ‘s   elevation,   azimuth   and   skew   from   the   widget  

“Manual   Control”.  

The   minimum

possible movement in any direction is 0.01°. The antenna’s position can be monitored from the “

Antenna

” widget. 

To select a new beam, click on one of the beams under “

Change Beam

” widget on this page and the antenna

will automatically repoint to this new beam.

” widget. This feature is only used for testing

purposes and it is not required to do this for every satellite.

The “
