9.50 Antenna-Proxy

The Antenna-Proxy logical device translates parameters between different antenna controllers to the parameters from the Antenna-Pointing device.

This is useful if the antenna controller includes already a satellite list (like the SatService-ACU-ODM) but you need the standard interface of the Antenna-Pointing device for other logical devices like the RX-ChannelSelect devices.

Device window pages

The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type. Tool-bar functions not mentioned here are described at the general description of device windows .

Configuration parameters

At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameters which must be set to interconnect the Level-Set device to the devices it monitors and controls.

parameter description
satId The message ID for the satellite name
azId The message ID for the azimuth reading.
elId The message ID for the elevation reading
polId The message ID for the polarization reading
