9.257 GDSatcom-ACU940

This page describes the device driver and the device window for the GDSatcom antenna controller 940. The driver supports the OPTrack and steptrack modes of the antenna controller but none of the program track modes.

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 make the software talk to the Controller.

parameter description
hasPolAxis En- or Disables the polarization axis
deviceComment An optional text entered here appears as an addition to the tooltip which is shown while the mouse is placed over a device icon in the GUI. The "\n" character sequence is translated into a newline character, splitting the text into multiple lines.

Remarks

The GDSatcom ACU 940 is controlled through a TCP connection to one of the ports 5001 or 5002 of the device. Each port only accepts one connection at a time. The communication has to be configured as to a serial terminal server port, specifying the device address and port number in the device configuration.
