Table 2: Software Limits Ranges

Once all of the software limits have been set and all of the check boxes have appeared, Figure 20 will be displayed and the operator must select OK (see Figure 21), then next, to continue with the next initialization step.

Enter Beacon Receiver Parameters

The final step in the Initialization Wizard process is the tracking parameters setup (see Figure 22). The beacon slope is the multiplier used to convert the beacon receiver voltage into dBs. The beacon offset is the value that will be added to the beacon data in order to normalize the beacon reading to 0 dB. The beacon frequency is the frequency at which the satellite beacon is being transmitted. Note: the slope must be correct for proper operation. It is advised that the slope be verified after initialization is completed.

Selecting the Next button after valid values have been entered will complete the initialization process and save all the setup parameters to a file. Popup windows will notify the operator that the initialization process is complete and that the satellite table (glblsat.tbl) was successfully downloaded from the ACS3000 server to the PC.
