Elevation
Elevation Axis Position Meter - The Commanded digital angle readout
and pointer are shown in orange (central meter orange numeric
display); The Actual digital position readout with pointer are displayed
in blue (central meter blue numeric display); The Elevation Slave
pointer is green; The small digital displays (top right and bottom left)
report the computed axis velocity and the EL axis slave angle, if slave
angles are received.
4
Tracking
Track Error Meter is shown with a green meatball, indicating that the
tracking feed is operational and the feed modulation signals are
present; The two AZ and EL digital error value readouts are also
shown below the meter; The meter displays the relative location of the
radiating target (where the antenna is pointing); The antenna is
pointing directly at the target when the meatball is in the center of the
crosshairs; The computed AZ (X) and EL (Y) values are displayed in
the small display boxes attached to the bottom of the meter.
5
Azimuth
Azimuth Axis Position Display Meter - The Commanded digital angle
readout and pointer are shown in orange (central meter orange
numeric display); The Actual digital position readout with pointer are
displayed in blue (central meter blue numeric display); The Azimuth
Slave pointer is green; The small digital displays (top right and bottom
left) report the computed axis velocity and the AZ axis slave angle, if
slave angles are received.

RSSI
The RSSI window displays the four (4), user selected, tracking
channels along with their AGC, signal level meters (out of the 16
available channels); Typically LHCP, RHCP, and Combined channels
are used, with a fourth channel also available.
The Client GUI provides 16 tracking channels, in total, with four groups
of four channels each (Channels 1-4, 5-8, 9-12 and 13-16); These
additional channels are viewed by selecting each set of four channels
from the sets shown above the AGC meters; When a set is selected,
the four (new) tracking channels (meters) display in the corresponding
columns. Note, only one set of four tracking channel meters can be
displayed at a time.
Also, available in this area, is the Auto Receiver (Auto RX ON-OFF)
button, along with the Auto Receiver channel selection buttons,
located directly above each AGC meter.
When the selection button is green, and the AUTO RX button is
selected and highlighted (green), only the tracking channels that are
selected (green) will be automatically switched. In Figure 12, all four
tracking channels are selected, which means that the system will
switch among all four channels, and will track on the channel with the
highest signal level. In this example, the selected tracking channel is
Channel 1
–
R1 - LH which now displays a green border around the
signal level meter. The selected tracking channel always has a green
box around the selected channel’s AGC meter.
