Table 3 – Status Bar
The signal strength bar shows the quality of the received signal.
The same scale is used for all beam types and so during pointing
only the left part of the bar is used. The signal strength in the
Global Beam should be 49 to 53dB when it is pointed correctly
(the higher the better). It also lists the current satellite beam type
and number. In release 5.9.5.0 and higher the current satellite is
also shown.
The signal strength increases in value as you transition to the
Regional Beam and again when you get a PDP context and
transition to the Narrow Beam.
The
GPS
status area shows the status of the GPS fix and results are
shown in the following table:
