Configuring the GOES Radio
The System 5000 is used to program the GOES Radio setup options and to send data to the
TM
Radio to be transmitted. The communication link between the System 5000 and the GOES
TM
Radio is through an RS-232 com port. Standard System 5000 units can support the GOES
TM
Radio on any RS-232 port. System 5000 Plus units have the GOES Radio built-in and are
TM
connected via an internal com port. Both Signal Engineering (SE-1200/Omnisat i.e. H-222-
DASE) and Design Analysis (H-2221) GOES Radios are supported by the System 5000
.
TM
The setup and overall status of the GOES Radio can be seen via the GOES Configuration screen.
The GOES Radio must be properly set up and operational before any transmissions will occur.
Radio Type: Defines the GOES Radio connected to the System 5000 . Currently both Signal
TM
Engineering OmniSat/SE-1200 and Design Analysis H-2221 radios are supported. To select or
change the Radio Type, press the Edit button next to the current label.
Port: Defines the port on which the current GOES Radio is connected. System 5000 Plus units
TM
have an internal GOES Radio and can use the GOES Port (Internal) as their selection. If the
radio is attached externally, the port that the radio is connected to should be selected. To select
or change the port, press the Edit button next to the current label.
Mode: Defines the GOES Radio mode of operation. This option should be turned on after all
other GOES options are set as desired. The system may not allow the radio to be set to a
specified mode if the given Mode’s options are not set properly. If this occurs, the Mode will
revert to Off and the Status message will indicate what needs to be set. Once the initial settings
have been set and the Mode has been chosen, changes to these settings can be made as desired.
The Mode does not need to be set to Off for changes to be saved to the radio.
