This parameter was used to monitor the results of a diagnostic command which was sent to the PCU.
13.6. To Disable/Enable DishScan
When running a beam pattern test, a programmed sweep for NOC/Satellite Operator, balancing the antenna or
motor diagnostics where you want the drives (AZ, EL & CL) not to be oscillating you will have to disable DishScan.
Select the DISHSCAN parameter window on the ACU:
1. Press the RIGHT arrow, then press the UP arrow and last press the ENTER key to turn DishScan mode ON.
2. Press the RIGHT arrow, then press the DOWN arrow and last press the ENTER key to turn DishScan Mode
OFF.
If you change this remote parameter, you must save the change using REMOTE PARAMETERS.
If DishScan is OFF and the Step Integral parameter is set to 0000, you will get a constant ERROR 0016 (DishScan error)
and you will see zeros flashing in the lower left of the Azimuth and Elevation ENTRY menu displays. This is a visual
indication that DishScan is turned OFF.
Always assure that you turn DishScan back ON when returning to normal operation.
