0  

The tracking error in the elevation direction (commanded 
position – current position)  

TLE Epoch Age  

0  

The age of the selected TLE

0  

The TLE Module current state (what action is currently being 
performed)  

TLE Scan Active  

4  

Indicates whether or not the TLE Module is currently running a 
scan  

TLE Scan Az Offset  

4  

The current azimuth offset of the scan (from the TLE position 
with any previous offsets added)
