Elevation Control Commands
These commands are only for az-el operation. Note that an
azimuth angle must always be supplied when changing el-
evation, and that a setting point consists of a pair of angles.
W
aaa eee
Turn to
aaa
degrees azimuth and
eee
degrees elevation,
where
aaa
is three digits between “
000
” and “
360
or
450
: vary according to controller type,” and
eee
is three
digits between “
000
” and “
180
.” Rotators respond im-
mediately.

This command is similar to the [
M
] command: the first pa-
rameter is a time interval, and succeeding parameters are
angles. With this command, however, angles are in azimuth-
elevation pairs, each pair representing one antenna loca-
tion. At most “
1900
” pairs can be sent and stored in the
Control Interface. As with the other commands, the time
interval range is limited to “
001
” to “
999
” (seconds),
azimuth to “
000
” to “
360
or
450
: vary according to
controller type,” and elevation to “
000
” to “
180
.”
When this command is sent, the rotators turn to the first
aaa
azimuth parameter and the first
eee
elevation param-
eter, and wait for a subsequent [
T
] command to begin the
actual stepping (to the next azimuth-elevation pair). Stored
values remain in effect until another [
W
] command is is-
sued (this may have no parameters, in which case the “
?

”
error prompt is returned, but memories are still cleared), or
until the controller is turned off or by toggling the
GS-
232A
off and on.
