HOME - NEW MODE - MENU KEY 5

Description

This facility does not have a screen of its own. It is a function

 

enabled by a menu key on the New Mode menu.

 

If the INTRAC had been in Learning or Tracking mode and

 

had been taken out of that mode, and the model was still

 

valid, pressing Auto Continue will return the INTRAC to that

 

mode.

 

The antenna may have been stowed or moved off satellite for

 

some other reason. Alternatively the INTRAC may have gone

 

into Standby due to an alarm. In either case (once the

 

antenna has been unstowed) pressing Auto Continue will

 

cause the antenna to drive back to the satellite and continue

 

Learning or Tracking.

 

If the INTRAC had been Tracking but the time off satellite was

 

too long for the model to be relied on it will restart in Learning

 

mode to build a new model.

Note

Until and unless the orbit model is cleared pressing Auto

 

Continue will cause the antenna to be driven to the satellite of

 

that model. Thus if a new satellite is required to be tracked

 

the antenna must be driven to that satellite’s location and

 

“Auto New Model” used to cause the INTRAC clear the

 

existing model and start to build a new one.
