Calibration of the SAILOR 100 Satellite TV
6-6
Chapter 6: Configuration
98-136280-B
To make an azimuth calibration with user defined input, do as follows:
1. Select User defined in the Satellite drop down list.
2. Type in the longitude and polarisation skew of the satellite. The polarisation skew is
provided by the satellite operator, it is typically 0 degrees.
3. Select the polarisation of a transponder and type in its frequency and symbol rate.
4. Select which satellite identifier to use for identification of the signal.
5. Click
Start
and wait typically 5 minutes for the calibration to finish. A progress bar is
shown during calibration and a message is displayed when the calibration has
completed. In case of failure, see the table in the following section for a description
of error codes during calibration.
The following table shows the error codes that might be displayed during a calibration.
Important
The calibration function is not able to verify the
correctness or precision of the supplied longitude. It
is therefore important to supply the correct
longitude including the first decimal.
Satellite identifier NID value
Description
NID
0
Satellite identifier is not used.
NID
1—65535
Supplied NID is matched against
Network ID broadcast by the satellite.
Orbital position
n.a.
Supplied longitude is matched with
orbital position broadcast by satellite.
Not all service providers broadcast the
orbital position.

Important
It is strongly recommended to verify the result of a
calibration performed with user defined data. This
can be done by making a new calibration on a
different satellite and verify that the resulting
Azimuth calibration value differs less than one
degree. Verification should also include seeing TV
reception using a satellite profile.
Error code
Explanation
1
The elevation of the selected satellite is too low. Select
another satellite.
2
The elevation of the selected satellite is too high. Select
another satellite.
