iNetVu™ 7000 Controller User Manual

Revision 1.19

6.6.3.5. AZ

The AZ menu allows configuration of the Azimuth axis, including pot zero, pot factor,

stow limit, azimuth search window size, slow speed movements, and current limits at

high and slow speeds.

1 – Configurable AZ Pot Zero

AZ Pot Zero is an A/D value from the potentiometer calculated upon azimuth calibration which

physically determines where the iNetVu™ Mobile Software places Azimuth Angle 0°. The AZ Pot

Zero may vary approximately +15% from the Default values (see appendix 3). The user may edit

these values through this window, however any changes may result in failure to recognize the

correct 0° angle. This parameter has a configurable rang of (150-700).

2 – Configurable AZ Pot Factor

AZ Pot Factor is an A/D value from the potentiometer calculated upon azimuth calibration which

allows the iNetVu™ Mobile Software to convert the A/D value of the Potentiometer into an

equivalent angle. The AZ Pot Factor should vary approximately +15% from the Default values (see

appendix 3). The user may edit these values through this window, however any changes may result

in failure to recognize the correct azimuth angles. This value has a configurable range of (0.4115-

1.3030)

3 - Stow Limit

Enabling this function allows for the iNetVu

system to trigger the stow limit when the mechanical

stow range of the azimuth is reached. Disabling this limit, may result in failure to initiate the

automatic stow command.

E – Enable Stow Limit

D – Disable Stow Limit

4 – Configurable Azimuth Search Window Size

The Search Window is the area of the sky which the iNetVu™ Mobile System will search for the

desired Satellite. It uses a rectangular window and searches for the Satellite using smaller

concentric windows until the desired Satellite is found. The Search Window range may be manually

changed from the default settings which iNetVu™ uses to find the satellite should the desired

Satellite cannot be found. The configurable range is 2º-99º on both sides of the target azimuth

angle.
