2.4.2 VanLink GPS
One of the key functional features of VanLink is its ability to utilize the vehicles current
location (Latitude/Longitude), its orientation (Reference to magnetic North), and the
static coordinates of each receive site in order to point the dish to the appropriate
azimuth. For this feature to be operational, Troll Systems will require a list of each
receive site and its coordinates (preferably in DD:MM.MM – Degrees Minutes
Hundredths of a Minute) to be programmed into the V750 in advance of system field
operation.
Additional sites can be added at any time. The procedure will require an update to both
the V750 and TouchStar. Typically, the update to the V750 can be accomplished from the
studio provided that there are communications established between the vehicle and
TouchStar (hence all of the open ports required).
