Satellite Identification (2 > Identify) - Promax PRODIG-1+ Manual De Instrucciones

USER'S MANUAL PRODIG-1+.
A screen like the one below appears on the display:
If no antenna is detected, the display shows the message 'No LNB?' (see figure 9)
and no acoustic indication is emitted.
4.2.2 Satellite Identification (2 > IDENTIFY)
Once a satellite has been detected (by localising a power maximum), check if the
received signal corresponds to some memorised satellite. Select the memorised
satellites identification function 2> IDENTIFY by pressing key
try the different satellite detection points.
The identification system is based on a previously loaded satellite data table.
Consult the configuration sheet supplied with the instrument for further information on
the satellites that your instrument can detect.
The instrument can memorise up to sixteen combinations of frequencies and
polarisations (16 detection points). The number of active points (selectable) may be
configured. A greater or lesser number of satellites can be identified depending on the
number of active points and what you wish to assign to each satellite. Therefore, for
example, if you assign one frequency and the two possible polarisations to each
satellite (i.e. 2 points for each satellite) and you only activate 14 points, the instrument
will be able to identify a total of 7 different satellites. See the configuration sheet
delivered with the instrument for further information. Each detection point has a name of
up to 4 letters assigned to it, these are momentarily shown on the display when
selected (see figure 12).
Note: You are recommended to assign two test points to each satellite, one with
vertical polarisation and another one with horizontal polarisation, to guarantee
satellite identification.
As shown in figure 11, key
changed sequentially. Therefore, the selected test point changes every time that you
press this key. To select a specific detection point, repeatedly press this key until the
display shows the name assigned to the required point.
