Each motor is identified by a number. The azimuth is motor 0 and the elevation is
motor 2. The format for a positional movement command is “p [motor#] [position].
The number of possible motor positions (steps per revolution) for the WV750 is 24750.
In this case 24750 is the same as 0.
Important Note: Typing “s” and pressing enter at any time stops all motors.

Caution: The system will move in azimuth regardless of what the elevation is. Make
sure the system is at a safe elevation before attempting to move the azimuth or motor.
Stay clear of the entire system during movement commands.
Caution: The elevation will raise and lower its full range regardless of the azimuth
position. This means it is possible to lower the antenna on either side of the landing
ramp possibly causing damage to the antenna mount or surrounding equipment.
Use the command “p 0 100” to move the azimuth motor to position 100.
DC> p 0 100

These commands are very useful to test individual motors. They can also be used to test
motors that are connected to the system but are not installed for troubleshooting
verification.
