1. Edit Controls:
Simply type into the numerical edit fields the value of the required azimuth or
elevation. Hit the Enter or Tab key. The rotator control unit automatically starts
moving the rotator to the required position. Under normal load conditions, the
rotational rate is around 4 to 5 degrees per second.
2. Spin Controls:
Click on the small up or down arrows of the spin controls. Up-arrow means increase
and down-arrow means decrease. A single mouse click increases or decreases the
required azimuth or elevation by one degree. Keeping the mouse button depressed
activates an auto-repeat function.
3. Buttons:
Clicking on any of the arrow buttons on the left side moves the rotator by one degree.
Keeping the mouse button depressed causes continuous rotator movement. The Up
and Down buttons change elevation, while Left and Right buttons change azimuth.
Clicking the Stop button will seize the rotator movement at any time.
4. Arrow Keys:
The rotator can be controlled using the keyboard arrow keys. While no numerical
field is being edited, the arrow keys are active and available for turning the rotator.
The Up and Down keys change elevation, while the Left and Right keys change
azimuth. A single key press causes a change of one degree, while keeping a key
depressed causes continuous rotator movement.
The numerical fields labelled Target rotator angles are the desired angles, while the
fields under the Rotator angles label, are the actual rotator positions. The Look
angles are the angles where the antenna is actually pointing to, which may be
different than the actual rotator angles.
The colours in the graphical representation have the following meaning:
Blue line:
The direction where the antenna is pointing to.
Yellow Lines: The max and min of the travel range.
Green area: The angle traversed by rotator from reference position.
Note, once the rotator elevation shaft has moved through 90 degrees the blue line on
the azimuth circle swings the opposite way, indicating the direction where the
antenna is pointing.
