8.2.2.4. Azimuth Parameters
The Azimuth menu allows for the configuration of the azimuth axis. Options include the
setting of the Zero, and the axis limit functionality, the slow speed setting, and Platform
current limits slow speeds. AZ calibration button will be grayed out on certain platform
types as this process may not be applicable.

Zero
Azimuth Zero is an A/D converted value from the potentiometer calculated upon azimuth
calibration which physically determines where the iNetVu

Mobile Software places
Azimuth Angle 0
°
. In the new Generation systems, the potentiometer is replaced with an
Encoder. The Azimuth Zero may vary approxi15% from the default values on
the potentiometer (see Appendix 1). The user may edit these values through this menu;
however this is not recommended and any changes may result in failure to recognize the
correct 0 angle.
Slow Speed
The iNetVu

software basis the default azimuth motor slow speed on the platform size
and type. See Appendix 1 for details. The user may change this value, however
changing such value may result in difficulty with satellite acquisition.
