If you are unable to complete a full test transmission as noted above, or if you are confident your
transmission will not exceed the allotted transmission window, there is no need to configure
sensors, just send a “Test GOES Transmission”.
NOTE:
A “Test GOES Transmission” (Fixed) should also be sent from the actual site
once the unit is set up to confirm its operation.
1)
Connect the power, GPS antenna, and GOES antenna as described in Chapter 3 and wait
until the system, telemetry and GPS LED status indicators are solid or blinking.
2)
Open the FTS360 Config App, log in, and select the station from the Station Discovery screen
(identified by its serial number found under the SD card port access). The station’s health
indicators should display, confirming connectivity and power.
3)
Select the arrow on the GOES/EUMETSAT icon line. Fill in the fields with your provided
satellite information and Save Changes.
4) Configure your sensors: It is recommended to configure your sensors prior to going to the
field as outlined in section 3.2 and necessary if you intend on testing your transmission in
accordance with your assigned transmission window.
IMPORTANT! If you choose not to configure your sensors at this time, the message
can only be configured using the available parameters (eg: Lat and Long, battery
voltage) and the message will have to configured and proven once the sensors are
configured in the field.
5)
Select the “Configure Transmitted Message” bar and select fields to be included in the
transmitted message. You can confirm the message information and transmission format
by selecting the “Show Configured” button.
6)
Confirm the GOES icon turns green indicating GOES and message information is configured.
7)
Enable Transmission.
8)
Select “Test GOES Transmission”. Select Type: Fixed. If you were assigned a test
transmission channel, enter that. If not, select the appropriate channel for your satellite
assignation (NOAA channels 195 for East or 196 for West).
NOTE: Test transmission channels 195 and 196 are assigned by NOAA and any
number of organizations may be accessing the channel at the same time which may
interference with your transmission.
