Help on Parser Commands
Function: lists parser commands
Command: HELP
Argument: none
Response: print a list of all parser commands
Calculate Skew Angle
Function: report skew angle of the current satellite
Command: SKEWANGLE
Argument: none
Response: SKEW ANGLE = XXXX.X
D.2 Manual Positioning Commands
To execute the following commands, first put the antenna unit in
idle mode by typing HALT and pressing “ENTER.” Positioning
commands may be entered after the antenna comes to rest.
Azimuth Angle
Function: commands a manual azimuth angle
Command: AZ,xxxx (range is 0000-3599)
Argument: desired azimuth angle of the mechanism relative to
baseplate fwd, 000°-359.9°
Response: echoes the command; mechanism moves at a
fixed velocity
Elevation Angle
Function: commands a manual elevation angle
Command: EL,xxx (range is 100-850)
Argument: desired elevation angle of the mechanism relative to
up, 10.0°-85.0°
Response: echoes the command; mechanism moves at a
fixed velocity
Skew Angle
Function: commands a manual LNB skew angle
Command: SKEW,xxx (range is -1450 to 1450)
Argument: desired skew angle of the LNB relative to up,
-145.0° to 145.0°
Response: echoes the command; LNB moves at a fixed
velocity
If you enter the AZ, EL, or SKEW
command without any parameters,
the system reports the current
position for azimuth, elevation, or
skew.
The SKEW command is only
available if the antenna is equipped
with a linear quad LNB/feed tube
assembly.
