AZIM COUNT, ELEV COUNT
The internal position count has been corrupted. Manually find a satellite that has previously
been stored in non-volatile memory, and go into RE-SYNC mode to update positions. See
Section 5.9.
AZIM SLOW SPEED, ELEV SLOW SPEED
The azimuth and elevation slow speed codes have been corrupted. The slow speed codes are
entered via the Azim and Elev Slow Speed CONFIG mode items. See Sections 5.10.4 and 3.5
AUTOPOL CONFIG DATA
Either the AutoPol Enable or AutoPol Vpol Level CONFIG mode items have been corrupted.
See sections 2.6, 3.8, and 5.10.1.
COMM PORT
This error (caused by an incorrect checksum) indicates that the value of at least one of the
following CONFIG mode items has been corrupted: Remote Mode Enable, Comm Port Baud
Rate, or Comm Port Address. Remote Mode Enable is the controlling item for this group of
CONFIG mode items - it must be enabled to allow access to the Comm Port Baud Rate and
Comm Port Address CONFIG mode items. See section 5.10.3.
AZ/EL ANGLE DISPLAY
This error (caused by an incorrect checksum) indicates that the value of at least one of the
following CONFIG mode items has been corrupted: Angle Display Enable, Display Az Gain,
Display Az Offset, Display El Gain, or Display El Offset. The Angle Display Enable item is the
controlling item for this group of CONFIG mode items - it must be enabled to allow access to
the other items. See sections 3.7 and 5.10.5.
POL OPTIONS
This error (caused by an incorrect checksum) indicates that the value of at least one of the

following CONFIG mode items has been corrupted: Az/El Drive Options Enable, Az/El Fast
Slow Threshold, Az/El Retry Attempts, Az/El Fast Deadband, Az/El Slow Deadband, Azim
Coast Threshold, Elev Max Position Error, or Simultaneous Az/El Enable. The Az/El Drive
