If the operator selects the Update Table button when no geo.txt file has been loaded into the local directory
(C:\ACS3000\
antennaID\) will generate a different popup window as display by Figure 37 . This allows the
operator to use the current geo.txt file that is already loaded on the ACU. This may be necessary to correct
errors in Norad data on the table entered by editing. Selecting OK will generate the same popup windows as
were generated by the previous method of updating the Satellite Table. Selecting the Satellite Table button
from the control panel will display the updated satellite table.

the appropriate satellite entries.

specified directory, a popup window will notify the operator of the request denied status as shown in Figure
