Sat_polarization display status - binary
data - the value of the internal
auto$pol$enable$flag and
sat$pol$display$status$code variables. The
AutoPol feature slaves the RC1000's
polarization control output to a digital
input from a satellite receiver. This
feature is documented in the user's manual.
The sat$pol$display$status$code indicates
the present status of the satellite
polarization display field on the LCD on
the front of the unit. In REMOTE or MANUAL
mode, an 'H' or 'V' will be displayed if a
satellite name is displayed in upper case
letters and the present polarization
position corresponds to the preset
horizontal or vertical polarization for
that satellite. Otherwise, an 'h' or a 'v'
will be displayed if the present
polarization position is in the
neighborhood of the preset horizontal or
vertical polarization position for the
satellite closest to the antenna's present
azimuth position. If neither of the two
previous cases apply the polarization field
will be blank.
