cess, and the software itself
is in English.
It’s interesting that the
settings list is not trans-
ferred to the meter with an
RS-232 or USB cable, but us-
ing regular files which can be
stored on any USB storage
medium.
DiSEqC options can be ac-
cessed through the satellite
list menu item. Here you can
chose either DiSEqC 1.0/1.1
or DiSEqC 1.2, and we tested
how the meter controlled our
small motorised setup that
moves a 45cm antenna.
The available functions
include EAST/WEST move-
ment of the antenna, saving
of the current position in re-
lation to the active satellite,
setting of limits and going
to zero position. The cur-
rent firmware version of the
TM6800+ does not allow to
specifically enter the saved
position in the DiSEqC mo-
tor and it is not possible to
directly move to saved posi-
tions.
The next menu item is
called ‘Angle calculation’ and
can be used for convenient
calculation of Azimuth and
elevation values based on
the entered geographic posi-
tion.
It’s part of our job to never
take a manufacturer’s word
for anything, so we double-
checked the calculations for
a number of setups and are
pleased to say that all re-
sults for elevation, Azimuth
and polarisation (LNB skew)
turned out to be absolutely
correct.
