8.2.3.1. Target Satellite Parameters
Fig. 88:
Configuration – Satellite Parameters
Satellite No.
5 different satellite parameters are configurable allowing users to configure and save for
easy access. Priority order must be followed when saving, Satellite no. first and all other
parameters afterwards. If “Configure File” is enabled (selected) Satellite and DVB
parameters can be saved all at once.
Longitude
Orbital slot / Longitude of the desired Satellite. The
Find Satellite
command will use this
value when attempting to find and lock onto a satellite signal.
(Offset) Sat Pol Offset
Denotes Transmit Polarity and may be altered to accommodate any offset ranged -180
to +180
generally in North America and most areas around the world.
Not applicable on 2 axis platforms such as Ka-75V (A0755A) and Ka-98h/G/V (A0985)
981/1201/1200/1500/1800/
1.2 Flyaway
– Horizontal Receive (Sat Pol Offset = 0)
with feed/OMT position
standing up, Vertical Receive (Sat Pol Offset = 90)
with
feed/OMT position flat.
980/740 Platforms
– Sat Pol Offset = 0 considering OMT is adjusted manually. (See
Platform Setup and Maintenance Manual for instructions on how
to adjust the OMT based on polarity)
Only RX Polarity is referenced for the Pol Offset field allowing both Cross-Pol and Co-
Pol to work with setting the Pol Offset to 90 or 0 depending on the Receive Polarity
required.
Rx = V = 90 (feed/OMT position flat) and Rx = H = 0 (feed/OMT position
standing up)
for Cross-Pol and Co-Pol.
