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.

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. T he beacon offset is the
value that will be added to the beacon data in order to normalize the beacon reading to 0 dB. The b eacon
frequency is the frequency at which the satellite beacon is being transmitted. Note: the slope m ust 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 pr ocess and
save all the setup parameters to a file. Popup windows will notify the operator that the initialization pr ocess
is complete and that the satellite table (glblsat.tbl) was successfully downloaded from the ACS 3000 server to
the PC.
