3 – Polarization Angle and Stow Limit Indicator
740/950/980 Mobile Platform Range:
-70
to 70
1500/1800 Mobile/Flyaway Platform Range:
-90
to 90
1200 Mobile Platform Range -90
to 90
(ST at +65˚)
981/1201 Drive-away Platform Range:
-90
to 90
(ST at +/-50˚ for 981)
Ka75/ka98 1800 Circular Band Signals will have the Polarization Angle disabled, and will display
“DDD” Stow Limit will also be disabled and display “STF”.
S
Polarization Stow Limit has been reached.
Mobile Platform should be physically centered on the Polarization axis.
The New Gen 981 and 1201 platforms will stow at angle +/-50 (981) and angle +/-90
(1201) based on last PL target angle.
4 – GPS Status Flag and Compass Status Flag
The first letter represents the GPS status, and the second letter represents the Compass status
(i.e. VV, FF, OO, FO, OF, OV, VO).
V
GPS/Compass Status is Valid/Normal
F
GPS/Compass Status has failed
O
GPS/Compass Coordinates have been overridden
5 – System Status
(status meanings explained in the software section of this report)
AC
Azimuth Calibration
AT
ACP Testing
CC
Compass Calibration
DT
Dish Testing
II
Idle
MM
Manual Movement
PC
Polarization Calibration
PK
Peaking (PA/PE)
PS
Positioning
SR
Searching
ST
Stowed
6 – Receive RF/DVB Signal
Receive RF Signal as measured from the LNB. The letter ‘
N
’ next to the RF Value indicates the
LNB is not being powered properly and there is an issue with the RF connection, whereas no letter
next to the RF value indicates the LNB is powered properly. When the system is not in RF search
Mode, and is searching via DVB carrier, the value represents the DVB signal, and the letter “L” next
to the value indicates a DVB signal LOCK.
7 – Modem Status
Displays the receive strength of the satellite, and the Modem/Transmitter Status.
D
Transmitter Disabled
E
Transmitter Enabled
U
Unknown (Communication with Satellite Modem / VSAT has failed)
(E.g. M140D represents modem signal strength of 140, and transmitter is disabled)
