Gpredict User Manual
The global preferences are divided into four major groups:
1.
General:
This group contains global parameters that influence the
overall behaviour of the application, for example the way numbers
are displayed.
2.
Modules:
The parameters in this group define the default settings
and properties for the modules. This includes the module layout,
refresh rates, and settings for the available views (map, list, polar,
and single-sat). The parameters are described in details in chapter 4,
where a thorough description of the functionality of the modules is
given.
3.
Interfaces:
Settings for automating radio and antenna rotator
control. The set-up and use of this feature is described in details in
chapter 7.
4.
Predict:
Parameters that define the functional and visual behaviour
of the future pass prediction functions. These are described in
chapter 5.
The rest of this chapter describes the parameters in the
General
group,
page by page. You can freely experiment with the configuration parameters
without worrying too much about messing up your settings. Gpredict offers
you a
Reset to Default
function for most parameters. This function can be
accessed via the
Reset
button available everywhere in the configuration
