Configuration
Connections
Serial connection
This connector uses a serial connection and requires the following input during element creation:
SERIAL CONNECTION:
Direct connection:
- Baudrate: 1200 to 57900
- Databits: 8
- Stopbits: 1
- Parity: No
- FlowControl: No
Interface connection:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device, e.g. 10.11.12.13.
- IP port: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
How to use
The element consists of the data pages detailed below.
Main View
This page displays general parameters such as the current azimuth, elevation and polarization position, and the beacon signal.
General
This page contains parameters related to the beacon, the device, the resolvers and the versions.
Page buttons provide access to additional parameters:
- Debug: Displays parameters used for debugging.
- System Config: Displays parameters related to the system configuration.
- INTRAC Operation: Contains the INTRAC and dual redundant INTRAC configuration.
- EEPROM Status: Contains parameters related to the EEPROM.
- Diagnostics: Displays the diagnostics 1, 2 and 3.
Positioning
This page contains all position-related readings and settings of the controller, such as the Current Positions. Buttons are included on this page to move the satellite up and down, left and right, clockwise and counterclockwise.
Page buttons provide access to additional parameters related to Search Parameters, Hysteresis level, FineTune Offsets, Software Limits, Limits of Search, Step Track and Limits.
The Goto Satellite page button opens a subpage that allows you to lock the device onto a given predefined satellite from the Satellite Presets. On the same subpage, you can also define how many samples the protocol needs to collect before the frequency and the polarization angle are adjusted. In case the device cannot adjust to a specific satellite in time, you can also define a sliding window that discards the initial samples that do not belong to it.
In version 1.0.0.25 of the connector, the Positions subpage is added, which allows you to change the azimuth, elevation and polarization separately. These separate buttons were added for older devices that have difficulty processing the 3 parameter values at the same time. However, the functionality is the same as on the main Positioning page.
Satellite Presets
This page displays the Satellite Info Table and the Satellite List Counter.
Stow
This page contains all stow-related readings and settings, both for the Az Stow and the El Stow, such as the Stow Pin, Stow Aligned, Brake, some Alarms, etc.
Two buttons on this page allow you to Stow or Unstow.
The page also contains three page buttons:
- Stow Position: Allows you to set the Stow Azimuth and Stow Elevation.
- Preset Modes: Displays if certain commands are disabled or enabled.
- Drive Cabinet Alarm: Displays the drive cabinet alarms.
Alarms
This page contains the controller's alarm reading, with parameters such as Beacon Alarm, Primary Alarm, Hardware Alarm, etc.
