The user is next prompted to specify whether or not the satellite is in an inclined
orbit.
POS SS
INCLINED ORBIT
SAT? YES/NO SET
MODE
When the user has flagged the satellite “YES” with the Scroll Up/Yes key, the
“DATA ACCEPTED” message will appear for a few seconds, and the controller
will switch to “TRACK” mode. If the satellite just entered was not an inclined orbit
satellite, after the “DATA ACCEPTED” message appears the controller remains
in “SETUP” mode. Control transfers to the initial screen, and the process may be
repeated.
User-Defined Satellite Names
If the desired satellite name is not in memory, you can assign a new name of up
to ten (10) alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9, hyphen (-), or space) by accessing
the USER entry mode as follows.
From the screen which allows the user to jog the antenna in azimuth and
elevation, use the SCROLL keys to bring up the ‘USER’ entry in the list, and
press ENTER. The following screen will display:
POS SS

NAME* SET
MODE
Note: The cursor will be displayed under the ‘*’ character. The SCROLL UP and
SCROLL DOWN keys may be used to select alpha-numeric characters (A-Z, 0-9,
hyphen (-), and space). A space can be entered in the name by pressing
SCROLL UP once, and SCROLL DOWN once, then ENTER. The BKSP key
may be used to delete the character to the left of the cursor.
During alpha-numeric data entry, the ENTER key has two functions. If the
ENTER key is depressed while the ‘*’ character is displayed, the alpha-numeric
data entry session is terminated. If the ENTER key is depressed when the ‘*’
character is not displayed, the cursor will advance to the right one space and the
user will be prompted again with the ‘*’ character.
