Basic Commands
CommandFunction
Universal Commands
HALTStops the antenna.
DEBUGONPlaces Main PCB in Debug mode.
VERSIONReports Main PCB software version and antenna model.
=SERNUMReports antenna serial number.
=SERNUM,XXXXXXXXXEnters antenna serial number.XXXXXXXXX = serial number (8 or 9 digits)
GOTO,AZXXXX,ELYYYSets saved satellite position.XXXX = Azimuth, YYY = ElevationLast digit is decimal (e.g., 60.7u00b0 azimuth = AZ0607)
TRACKStarts tracking and sets saved satellite position.
CLEAREEClears Main PCB EEPROM to factory default.
CLEAREEClears Main PCB EEPROM to factory default.
=CALGYRO (In-motion Only)Calibrates the gyro.If u201cUnknown Commandu201d appears, enter =CALAZ, wait for Azimuth Calibration to complete, then enter =CALEL.
NSTANTON or INSTANTOFFTurns Instant On mode ON or OFF.
SLEEPON or SLEEPOFFTurns Sleep mode ON or OFF.
ZAPRestarts antenna.
DVB Commands (TracVision L3/S3/R4/R5 Only)
@DEBUGONPlaces RF PCB in Debug mode.
@VERReports RF PCB software version.
SATINSTALL,,Installs satellite pair.(e.g., SATINSTALL,DSS_101,DSS_119)
SATINSTALLReports installed satellite pair.
SATReports satellite being tracked.
GPS,XX,,YYY,Enters current GPS position.XX = Latitude, YYY = Longitude
=LSTESTPerforms limit switch test.
@L,Switches to track other satellite. = A or B
@CLEAREEClears RF PCB EEPROM to factory default.
Non-DVB Commands (TracVision L2/S2/LF/SF/LM/SA Only)
RFGAIN,XXXSets antenna gain (higher gain = higher signal level)XXX = Gain settingLast 2 digits are a decimal (e.g., 2.40)Valid ranges:Serial number 0405XXXX or earlier: 1.65 – 2.50Serial number 0406XXXX or later: 2.50 – 3.00
RFGAINReports RF gain setting.
SIGLEVELReports satellite signal strength.
