C which accepts 0 5V voltages The antenna position voltage readout is mapped to be inside the 0 5V range In the absolute mode the display shows directly the rotator position expressed in absolute degrees you read values from 0 to 500 In the other operational modes north south stop the absolute readings are converted into different angular position numbers but only for input display purposes internally the program works with absolute angles The absolute mode can be only entered turning on the CBOX with the CW key pressed until the display shows a blinking three minus now you can release the key and the absolute mode is entered You can move the motor using CW and CCW keys between the rotation limits To exit from such a mode you must recycle CBOX power forcing another mode by RS232 command isn t effective In the absolute mode the rotor can be only operated by the CW CCW The absolute mode is usefull for CBOX calibration see CALIBRATION paragraph It is NOT recommended to turn big antennas which need to be started and stopped softly The bearing values in degree as shown by the display are not absolute but relative as show in the conversion tables South stop absolute values Vdc 000 070 160 250 340 430 500 Deg 110 180 270 000 090 180 240 east side S W N E S west side outrange outrange South stop relative values North stop absolute values Vde 000 070 160 250 340 430 500 Deg 290 000 090 180 270 000 070 west s
