Description

This facility does not have a screen of its own. It is a function
enabled by a menu key on the New Mode menu.


If the INTRAC had been in Learning or Tracking mode and
had been taken out of that mode, and the model was still
valid, pressing Auto Continue will return the INTRAC to that
mode.


The antenna may have been stowed or moved off satellite for
some other reason. Alternatively the INTRAC may have gone
into Standby due to an alarm. In either case (once the
antenna has been unstowed) pressing Auto Continue will
cause the antenna to drive back to the satellite and continue
Learning or Tracking.


If the INTRAC had been Tracking but the time off satellite was
too long for the model to be relied on it will restart in Learning
mode to build a new model.


Note

Until and unless the orbit model is cleared pressing Auto
Continue will cause the antenna to be driven to the satellite of
that model. Thus if a new satellite is required to be tracked
the antenna must be driven to that satellite’s location and
“Auto New Model” used to cause the INTRAC clear the
existing model and start to build a new one.
