3.2.1.2 Waveguide Switch
For mounts equipped with the optional waveguide switch control module, manual control of the
waveguide switch may be initiated via the MANUAL mode.

NOTE: The WAVEGUIDE SWITCH configuration item on the System Definition screen (3.3.1.2.1) must
be set in order for software to allow the changing of the waveguide switch position from the Manual
mode.

This field shows the currently sensed position of the waveguide switch. “H” denotes the horizontal
position, “V” the vertical, “?” indicates that neither position is sensed and “*” indicates that both H and V
are sensed (probably an error condition).

are sensed (probably an error condition).
Pressing the BKSP button will toggle the switch position. During the switch transition, a “+” will be
displayed when going to the H position and a “-“ will be shown while going to the V position. Note that
after 5 seconds the switching operation will timeout and drive voltage will be stopped if the desired
position has not been sensed.
