- Program Simulation
Program Simulation allows the user to set the serial communication protocol
used by the rotator. When set to emulate another brand of rotator, the
A lfaSpid will respond to commands, and send responses back to the computer
as if it were the rotator brand selected. If your favourite software supports
a rotator, chances are, the A lfaSpid will be able to interface to your
software. There are 4 modes available:
- Spid ( A lfaSpid ) Recommended
- Orion
- Hygain
- Yaesu
- Heading Adjust (numbers blinking)
This setting can be used to make minor heading adjustments without
causing the rotator to turn. If you notice that the heading displayed on the
controller to a known signal source is out by a few degrees, you can change the
heading displayed on the LED readout to match the known heading, rather than
having to turn back to North and reset the controller.
