--- Turns the polarisation clockwise
--- Moves the antenna up (EL)
--- Moves the antenna to the left (AZ)
--- Stops the antenna movement (only in continuous mode)
--- Moves the antenna to the right (AZ)
--- Moves the antenna down (EL)
Remark: This unit is not longer available, but still software supported from the sat-nms ACU-
ODM.
The target editor lets you edit the contents of a target memory without actually applying the
target setting. Using the editor permits to edit target setting while the antenna is tracking and in
operative use.
You enter the target editor for a certain target memory by clicking to the 'edit' icon in the target's
line in the target selection page. The editor page looks much like the tracking parameters page, it
contains the same information with some additional parameters. You edit each single parameter
the same way as at the trackon parameter page: click to the parameter, edit the value, and finally
submit the change. All this happens with a temporary copy of the tareget memory. The target
memory itself is not changed by this unless you click the 'Save' button at the very bottom of the
page.
General Settings
Target name --- A descriptive name for this target memory. If the ACU-ODM is used stand
alone, you are free to enter any text here. Target memories are saved and recalled by
number, hence it does not matter if there are duplicate target names. If however the ACU-
ODM is controlled by a sat-nms monitoring and control system, targets are recalled by name
with this software. In this case you should avoid duplicate names and you should be aware,
that the sat-nms software will remove all punctuation charcters from the target name. Target
names in the sat-nms software may only consist of characters A-Z (upper or lower case),
digits and the characters space, '-' and '.'.
Tracking mode --- The tracking mode parameter selects the tracking method, the ACU
actually uses. Possible selection are:
OFF --- No tracking is performed.
STEP --- Step track mode. In regular intervals, the antenna performs small search steps
to optimize the pointing. Chapter
'8.3.0 Step Track'
gives more information about this
mode.
STEP-TLE --- The antenna tries to optimize its pointing like in STEP mode. If the level of
the received signal is too low for this optimization, the antenna moves along the path
calculated from a TLE parameter set instead.
STEP-I11 --- The antenna tries to optimize its pointing like in STEP mode. If the level of
the received signal is too low for this optimization, the antenna moves along the path
calculated from an Intelsat 11 parameter set instead.
