2. Aim the Yagi antenna at the spacecraft; azimuth and elevation angle
positions are included on the bracket label. The Alignment tab in
DevConfig can be used to determine the correct coordinates for the
azimuth and elevation (see FIGURE 4-4). In the Alignment tab, select
either the East or West satellite, enter the transmitter's Latitude,
Longitude, Altitude, and the Magnetic Declination. The correct angles
are then displayed in the lower panel.
Refer to Section 4.1.1, Accessing DevConfig, for information
about accessing DevConfig. The transmitter’s internal GPS can
be used to acquire the azimuth and elevation information. To use
the internal GPS device, connect the GPS antenna (see FIGURE
4-7). The information will be listed in the GPS tab of
DevConfig. NOTE
Additional information about the Yagi antenna is provided in
Section 7.3, Transmission Antenna. NOTE
