3 - Advanced Search Elevation Gap

With a configurable range of (2º-20º) this parameter is used to determine the small incremental

adjustments required for a more accurate satellite search. Decreasing this value will add accuracy

to the Search Window, but will increase the search time. This value is used while searching on an

inclined surface. For instance A: 03 means the elevation angle will adjust if 3º gap from the

calculated angle. This value is set by default for optimum performance.

4 – Limit Switches (L: EEE)

Allows the enabling and disabling of the UP, DOWN, and STOW limits respectively.

The first character (EEE) represents the UP limit. The second character (EEE) represents the

DOWN limit and the third character (EE

E) represents the STOW limit. The user my change the limit

configuration between:

E – Enable Limit

D – Disable Limit

D - Disable Limit

This option disables UP, DN, and ST limits for testing and troubleshooting (i.e. DEE – represents

disabled Up limit, and enabled down and stow limit).

E – Enable Limit

Once enabled, the up, down and stow limits will be activated whenever the up, down, and stow

sensors have been triggered on the iNetVu

Mobile platform.

5 –Speed Setting

S The user may configure the slow speed of the elevation movement. The slow speed is a

basis for the satellite searching procedure.

6 – Current Settings

A software controlled current protection for the Mobile Platform’s elevation motors. When any of the

Mobile Platform’s motors are moving at the associated speed, the current drawn to move the motor

is monitored and should it exceed the Current Limit, an error message will appear. For Motor

Speeds that are not listed (Speed 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8), the Current Limit for those speeds is calculated

using a percentage of the Current Limit above it. See appendix 3 for the default current limits for all

iNetVu

Mobile Platforms.

• Current Limit 8 – 90% of Current Limit 9

• Current Limit 7 – 80% of Current Limit 9

• Current Limit 5 – 90% of Current Limit 6

• Current Limit 4 – 80% of Current Limit 6

• Current Limit 2 – 90% of Current Limit 3

• Current Limit 1 – 80% of Current Limit 3

I Configurable Current Limit For High Speed (9) movement is to the left of the dash, and

Configurable Current Limit For Slow Speed (6) movement is to the right of the dash.

(i.e. I: 12-05 Represents Current Limit of 12 A @ speed 9, and Current Limit of 5 A @ speed 6)
