Understand azimuth, elevation and skew

Interpret the numbers in the result panel and apply the correct reference at the dish.

Pointing values

  • •Azimuth True is the clockwise bearing from geographic north to the satellite direction.
  • •Azimuth Mag is the bearing adjusted for the modeled magnetic declination at the selected location.
  • •Elevation is the angle above the local horizontal. A negative value places the target below the geometric horizon.
  • •LNB Skew is the rotation needed to align linear polarization.
