10.2.2 Control Code Details — PCU
For the following descriptions, one step equals 1/48 degree for high-resolution PCUs.
Aaaaa
↵
Move Azimuth to aaa.a degrees true.
PCU response: CR,LF,">" when command is accepted.
Baaaa
↵
Set ship’s compass heading to aaa.a degrees. Sets Heading Valid flag (Bit 3, word 2). Resets
calculated azimuth position (P command) to ship h azimuth-relative position
modulo 360.0 degrees. The ship heading is automatically updated by the PCU response:
CR, LF,">" when command is accepted.
Daaaa
↵
Set ship compass heading to aaa.a degrees without changing azimuth position. Similar to
"Baaaa", this command is used to incrementally update the ship heading information when
derived from a serial NMEA gyro interface.
Eaaaa
↵
Move Elevation to aaa.a.degrees.
PCU response: CR, LF, ">" when command is accepted.
Iaaaa
↵
Move Cross-Level to aaa.a degrees. 90.0 degrees equals the nominal horizontal position.
Used to position the antenna for high overhead pass optimization.
PCU response: CR, LF, ">" when command is accepted.
