The Ant.Setup menu has the following sub menus:
Reset ACU: This function will reset the ACU in the
antenna. The DC power running in the antenna cable will
be turned of for a few seconds, causing the ACU to restart.
This can be useful if the antenna control freezes or locks
up.
Set time out: This function sets the number of seconds
the system waits without a satellite signal before it
assumes the tracking is lost. Valid range is 1 to 300
seconds. Default is 130 seconds. Press
 to validate
changes.
Num. Skyscan: Enables the user to define the number of
sky scans. Valid range is 1 to 10 scans. Default is 1 scan.
Press
 to validate changes.
Mount Pos.: Because of the build in GPS, the antenna is
capable of finding the satellite within a few seconds. A
heading of the ship is also needed, but since the GPS does
not supply the antenna with this information, a relative
angle of the antenna compared to the ships bow, has to be
known. Select the antennas mounted position, relative to
the ships bow. Valid angles are 0, 90, 180, and 270 deg,
positive in a clockwise direction. Default angle is 0 deg.
Changes must confirmed by pressing
 .
