Detailed Operation

3.3.1.3.11 SHAKE

AZ 1: -40.0 2: 50.0 3: 0.0 CONF-SHAKE

EL 1: 30.0 2: 40.0 3: -67.5 CYCLE: 100

PL 1: -10.0 2: 10.0 3: 0.0 DELAY: 15

MOVE 1 AZIM <-180.0/180.0>

AZ #:

MOVE # AZIM <-180.0/180.0>

The AZ field allows the user to specify the azimuth target for moves 1, 2 or 3.

EL #:

MOVE # ELEV <-90.0/90.0>

The EL field allows the user to specify the elevation target for moves 1, 2 or 3.

PL #:

MOVE # POL <-180.0/180.0>

The PL field allows the user to specify the polarization target for moves 1, 2 or 3.

CYCLE:

NUMBER OF SHAKE CYCLES <1-9999>

The CYCLE field allows the user to specify the total number of movement cycles the SHAKE function will perform.

DELAY:

DELAY <0-999 SECONDS>

The DELAY field allows the user to specify the amount of time (in seconds) that the SHAKE function will wait between “moves”. Specifying a value of 0 will cause no delay between “moves”.
