No useful data is provided here.
2.7 Peak on target satellite
No diagnostic data is provided for this stage but again the "cross scan" movements of the antenna
can be seen.
2.8 Identify target satellites
Repeat of the previous "identify reference satellite" step, this time for the target.
At the beginning of this step the diagnostic data reports "
Looking at ww
" where ww is the longitude of
the target satellite.
At the end of this stage there is a line of information which starts "
CTRL
" first number indicates the
satellite longitude being checked. The last number is the number of DVB channels checked.
The second to last number is the number of channels successfully decoded. The success number
should be more than half of the number of channels checked. Again if the system peaks up on the
wrong satellite, but it is recognised as such then the system will attempt to got to the target satellite
again. If the satellite is recognised then the system will re-calculate the platform heading.
2.9 Set polarisation to final position.
At this stage the Feed is moved to the final Pol position.
