Programming User-defined Satellites
The TracVision G8 satellite library has the capacity for two user-
defined satellites in case you want to track a satellite that is not
currently preprogrammed in the library. User-defined satellites
can only be configured via the MCU’s maintenance port. To
configure a user satellite, information about the satellite must be
provided, including:
•Satellite name
•Satellite position (longitude)
•Transponder information for each of the following
polarizations/frequencies:
-vertical high
-vertical low
-horizontal high
-horizontal low
OR
-right
-left
•Transponder information includes:
-frequency
-symbol rate
-FEC code
-network ID (in hexadecimal format)
This information can be obtained from your satellite service
provider or from a number of sites on the Internet, such as
www.satcodx.com.
How to tell the difference between
High and Low bands:
High: 11.700 - 12.750 GHz
Low: 10.700 - 11.700 GHz
For your reference, the satellite
configuration information for the
predefined satellites is available on
