Satlink Setup
Satlink operation is controlled by its setup. The user has the option of changing any part of the
setup. The setup is stored in non-volatile memory and will not be affected when the unit loses
power.
The LinkComm application is the easiest and fastest way to program your station..
Setup can be changed while Satlink is collecting data. However, if the station is in the middle of
making a measurement when the relevant setup is changed, unexpected effects may occur. Even
if unexpected effects occur, the next measurement will be made correctly.
Changes to setup will not affect previously logged data.
Every time setup is changed, it is noted in the log with the entry setup changed. Details of the
setup change are not logged.
If a password is enabled, changes to setup cannot be made until the password is entered.
The setup is broken into three sections discussed in detail in the next chapters:
measurement setup
telemetry setup
other setup
Remember that if you ever see at the top of LinkComm, the setup in LinkComm differs from the
setup in the SL3. If the change is deliberate, press the “changed” control to update the SL3
setup. If the change is accidental, use the Main Menu, Get setup from Satlink3 function.
You can also change the setup by sending messages to Satlink via one of the optional modems.
As an alternative to LinkComm, you can use any terminal program to access all of Satlink’s
features via the command line interface described in Chapter
