Tracking Antenna
Mode
Use this menu to choose the source of the coordinates to track or to return
the Pan/Tilt unit to its home position for storage. Possible tracking sources
include another Wave Relay
®
, a ESD (Exploitation Support Data) feed, a
CoT (Cursor on Target) feed, or CDF (Common Data Feed).
Home Position Returns the Pan/Tilt unit to its home position for storage
Track Node Instructs the node to track another Wave Relay
®
node position - This
function works by receiving Wave Relay
®
visualization packets from the
chosen node. Be sure that the tracked node is configured to transmit
Google
™
Earth Network Visualization packets.
Track Node w/
Initial Coordi-
nates
This setting is the same as the “Track Node” setting (instructs the node
to track another Wave Relay
®
node position), but also allows manual
entry of initial coordinates in cases where no position has yet been
received from the tracked Wave Relay
®
node.
Track via ESD
Feed
Points the antenna based on coordinate data received via an external
ESD feed
Track via CoT
Feed
Points the antenna based on coordinate data received via an external
CoT feed
Track via CDF
Feed
Points the antenna based on coordinate data received via an external
CDF feed
Track Node Selects a Wave Relay
®
node to track from the Node List
ESD UDP Port Defines the port number to receive coordinate updates via an external ESD
feed
To enable the tracking antenna
control system, go to the “Node
Configuration” tab and click on the
