Figure below shows the display of SATHUNTER+ in detect mode. Among the
data shown, there is the voltage average supplied to the LNB and if it is being applied
the 22 kHz signal.
If no signal is detected, the display will show horizontal bars at minimum level and
the percentage of power rate at 0 %. There will not be either audible signal and it will
appear the message "LNB NOT DETECTED".
4.3.2 Satellite Identification (2 > IDENTIFY)
Once a satellite has been detected (by localising a power maximum), you should
check if the received signal corresponds to anyone of the memorised satellites. Select
the satellites identification function 2> IDENTIFY by pressing key
The identification system is based on a database of satellites previously loaded to
the equipment. Consult the configuration sheet supplied with the instrument for further
information on satellites that the instrument can detect.
The instrument can memorise up to fifty combinations of frequencies and
polarizations (50 test points).Frequency measurements are configurable by software.
They can be shown as a FR (intermediate frequency) or DL (Downlink frequency). The
number of active points (selectable) can be also configured. A greater or lesser number
of satellites can be identified depending on the number of active points and how many
you want to assign to each satellite. Therefore, for example, if we assign one frequency
and the two possible polarizations to each satellite (i.e. 2 points for each satellite) and
they are activated 14 points, the instrument will be able to identify a total amount of 7
satellites. See the configuration sheet delivered with the instrument for further
information. Each test point has a name up to 8 letters assigned to it. It will be shown on
the display when is selected.
