Update Table

The Update Table button on the control panel allows the operator to update the satellite table by merging

new NORAD data with the currently loaded satellite table. All working entries will be preserved as working

entries and any satellite entry that is in the current satellite table but is not in the NORAD data file will be left

untouched. Entries that are in both the current satellite table and the NORAD data file will be updated with

the new NORAD data.

In order to update the satellite table, the operator must generate a new NORAD data file and save that file as

C:\ACS3000\

antennaID

\geo.txt. The operator may get updated NORAD data from Celestrak site:

http://celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/. (See

Figure 34

.) Selecting the Geostationary option will generate

the latest NORAD data for a large set of satellites. (See

Figure 35

.)
