Each motor is identified by a number. The azimuth is motor 0, the elevation is motor 1,

and the skew is motor 2. The format for a positional movement command is “p

[motor#] [position].

The number of possible positions (steps per revolution) is different for each axis. It also

differs for each type of mount. The azimuth is the same for all systems and the number

of steps per revolution is 17363. In this case 17363 is the same as 0.

Important Note: Typing “s” and pressing enter at any time stops all motors.

Caution: The system will move in azimuth and skew regardless of what the elevation is.

Make sure the system is at a safe elevation before attempting to move the azimuth or

skew motors. Stay clear of the entire system during movement commands.

Caution: The elevation will raise and lower its full range regardless of the azimuth and

skew position. This means it is possible to lower the antenna on either side of the LNB

landing ramp possibly causing damage to the antenna mount or surrounding

equipment.

Use the command “p 0 100” to move the azimuth motor to position 100.

These commands are very useful to test individual motors. They can also be used to test

motors that are connected to the system but are not installed for troubleshooting

verification.
