Select Satellite/Beam
Satellites/Beams that user can select from by simply clicking on the drop-down arrow.
Satellites 1 to 64 can be preconfigured and saved to allow user to search for desired
satellite. Beam color will be displayed and will not be selectable
if “Auto-select Beam
color” is enabled for Tooway. Currently Only 16 can be set with the remaining to be
added in future versions. Sat 1 is default satellite and will be the one searched on if no
other is selected from the drop-down list.
Find Satellite
Automatically finds and locks onto the satellite signal by communicating with the Satellite
Modem and using the GPS coordinates, the compass heading, and internal parameters
of the Satellite Modem. Typically, it takes approximately 3-5 minutes to find satellite.
If the Antenna is already pointed on the satellite, clicking
Find Satellite
will re-peak the
Antenna onto the signal. Search routine will ignore GPS and RF status until after
compass heading has been read to reduce search time. If GPS and RF conditions not
met after 60 seconds the search will fail and a message will be displayed.
Stow Antenna
Re-centers the antenna and lowers it into the stowed position.
Note:
Th
e “stow” command for the Fly-away platforms moves the Platform to a home
position.
Stop Operation
Halts all motor movements and disrupts all communication between iNetVu
®
Mobile/Fly-Away System components.
