Test Trajectory Mode
Activating Test Trajectory Mode allows you to test the performance of each of the
antenna axes.
To activate Test Trajectory Mode:
1. Open the
Mode
menu and select
Test Traj
. A confirmation message box appears.
2. Click
OK (Enter)
. The system moves all four axes to their starting positions and then
moves them forwards and back on their test trajectories, until stopped by the
operator.
While running the test, you can monitor the following axes parameters in the
Graphic
Data Logger
(for instructions, see
):
Position feedback
Position error
Velocity feedback
Velocity output
The following figure displays a typical azimuth-axis response on the
Logger
screen
(the Position Error curve is multiplied by 100 to bring it to a readable scale).
