Additional information
| Models | Model 9000 Tracking Receiver, Model 9050 Drive Cabinet |
|---|---|
| Steptrack | Tracking algorithm performing periodic and or level triggered scans to peak up signal strength (requires beacon receiver). |
| Predictive Track | Points the satellite dish using an orbital model created from previous AZ and EL step-track data (requires beacon receiver). |
| Monopulse | Automatically acquires target, peak phase align and calibrate to begin tracking with monopulse tracking receiver. Transfers to predictive model or ephemeris tracking on loss of monopulse signal. |
| NORAD TLE | Automated tracking based on NORAD two-line element sets |
| Intelsat (IESS-412) | Tracking derived from Intelsat 11-element parameter sets |
| TLE with Steptrack | Track using TLE as a base model but add periodic Step Tracks to correct for offsets over time |
| IESS-412 with Steptrack | Tracking with Intelsat model, with added Step Track to correct for offsets over time |
| Manual Jog | Dedicated front-panel antenna jog controls |
| Move to Longitude | Points the antenna to AZ and EL angles determined by the longitudinal orbital slot |
| Move to Look Angles | Points the antenna to user-supplied AZ, EL and POL angles |
