Hi Rosie, et. al, I have attached a screenshot of the kind of plot that we produce from the Novra S300N stats gathering that I installed on np1 and np2 yesterday. The plot represents values from the ~ldm/logs/novras300.log file on np1. A couple of small comments: - we found that peaking the C/N when aligning dish pointing was much better than peaking signal strength Our experience at LSU/SRCC was that there was a wide range of C/N (varied from 12 or 13 to 16+) for a very small range in signal strength (a variation of 1 or 2 dB). We used a Tcl script that can sample a Novra S300N several times per second when aligning the LSU/SRCC dish because of the flat signal indicated by their birddog. - since the polarization for the NOAAPort broadcast on SES-1 doesn't change, doesn't it make sense to peak the reception with respect to polarization and then turn off automatic adjustments? Just a thought... Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
