Low Platform Current
Low Platform Current (L_P_C) is a software controlled current protection for the Mobile
Platform’s elevation motors. 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
@ speed 6 and 9. See Appendix 1 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
EL Window
The Search Window is the area of the sky which the iNetVu
®
Mobile System will search
for the desired Satellite. It uses a rectangular window and searches for the Satellite
using smaller concentric windows until the desired Satellite is found.
The Search Window range may be manually changed from the default settings which
iNetVu
®
uses to find the desired satellite.
Fig. 83:
Satellite Search Window
The default Elevation (Vertical) range is 3
on each side of the Target Point.
Increasing the size of the Search Window will increase the ability to find the desired
Satellite, although increasing the Search Window will lengthen the search time.
EL Adjustment
Parameter 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. The elevation angle will adjust by the specified number
of degrees from the calculated angle while searching on an inclined surface.
Limit Switches (Elevation UP, Elevation DN, Elevation ST)
Allows the enabling and disabling of the UP, DOWN, and STOW limits.
A check mark in the box implies the limit has been DISABLED. By default the boxes are
left unchecked. Please be advised that disabling any of these limits should be done
under the direct supervision of a C-COM technical support representative.
