If all the angles are changing the fault is on the Interface PCB.
wrong angle displayed If the displayed angle changes to be near 0° or 90° it is probable that one of the two return signal circuits from the resolver is broken or the resolver itself is faulty.
If the displayed angle changes to any angle other than near 0° or 90° the fault is on the Interface PCB.
angle doesn’t change If the displayed angle doesn’t change when the antenna is
when antenna is moved being driven first ensure that the antenna is actually moving in the relevant plane. Select Manual Mode and drive the antenna in the appropriate direction and either check that the beacon level changes or actually look at the antenna.
If the antenna moves but the displayed angle does not change the problem is the connection of the resolver to the antenna.

If the drive signals from the INTRAC are correct the fault lies with the Motor Drive Cabinet, the antenna drive motors or the intervening wiring.
