Calibrating the Gyros

To calibrate the azimuth, elevation, and roll gyros, follow the
steps below.

1. With a PC connected to the MCU’s maintenance

port, apply power to the antenna unit.

2. Type

HALT<cr

> (<cr> indicates a carriage

return/ENTER key) while the system is performing
the limit switch initialization routine. The system
will complete the initialization function by finding
the azimuth and elevation switch limits and then
go to the home position.

3. Type

DEBUGON<cr>

to enter the Debug Mode.

4. Type

EL,300<cr>.

5. Using a digital level (or equivalent), measure and

record the angle of the feed tube, as shown in
Figure 5-19.

6. Type

=CALUP,XX.X<cr>

, where XX.X is the

number you recorded in Step 5.

7. Using a digital level, measure and record the angle

of the roll gyro on the PCB module, as shown in
Figure 5-20.

8. Type

GYROANGLE,X.XX<cr>

, where XX.X is the

number you recorded in Step 7.

9. Type

=CALGYRO<cr>.

Verify that the Antenna

Gyro Azimuth scale factor is between -0.00090 and
-0.00110 and the Antenna Gyro Elevation scale
factor is between 0.00090 and 0.00110.

10. Type

ZAP<cr>

to restart/reinitialize the system.
