Figure 28: Satellite Table Screen
Working Satellite Table Screen
The Working Satellite Table Screen displays all the satellites that have been added to the working table. In
addition to the NORAD ID, the name, the satellite longitude, and the visible flag, this screen displays the
computed az, el look angles, peaked az, el, and pol angles (if any), and flags indicating when NORAD or
INTELSAT data is available.
When the operator highlights a specific satellite, a right click on the mouse will allow him several options. He
can edit the selected satellite, delete the selected satellite from the working satellite table, select the satellite
as the base satellite and move to that satellite, or add a new satellite to the satellite table and tag it as a
working satellite entry. (See
Figure 29 .)
If the operator selects the delete satellite, the satellite is deleted from the working table but is not deleted
from the full satellite table.
If the operator selects a new satellite as a base satellite, a pop-up window will display the number of days
since the newly selected base satellite NORAD data has been updated and the antenna will be moved to the
new satellite position. The satellite position used will be the peaked position if there is one, or the look angle
position if no peaked values are available. NOTE: If the number of days since update is more than 7, the
NORAD data should be updated.
