Tests.AntennaTowerHeight.Changing.Physical.Minimum

This advanced option specifies the minimum height where the antenna can move to when the antenna is going to change its polarization. RadiMation^® version 5.8 will question the antenna tower controller it's minimum physical allowed height. The retrieved minimum antenna tower controller height and the value of Tests.AntennaTowerHeight.Changing.Physical.Minimum will be used to determine the minimum height to which the antenna will be controlled, when it is going to change its polarization. The highest of the two values is used.

This advanced option can be used to ensure that the polarization is always changed on a specific height. If the polarization should be changed manually, it could be very helpful if the antenna is always positioned on a 1 meter height. By setting Tests.AntennaTowerHeight.Changing.Physical.Maximum and Tests.AntennaTowerHeight.Changing.Physical.Minimum both to 1 meter, RadiMation^® will first move the antenna to 1 meter height. Then the polarization will be changed, and RadiMation^® will move the antenna to the correct antenna height again.

The default value of Tests.AntennaTowerHeight.Changing.Physical.Minimum is set to 0.8 meter, which ensures that any antenna is not controlled below 0.8 meter. This default value is by purpose specified as a relatively small value to prevent unwanted limitations.

If (for any reason) a limitation of the antenna tower height is needed higher than the minimum physical antenna height of the antenna tower controller itself, the value of Tests.AntennaTowerHeight.Changing.Physical.Minimum can be set to a value that is higher than the limitation in the antenna tower controller itself. If for example the value of Tests.AntennaTowerHeight.Changing.Physical.Minimum is set to 1, RadiMation^® will never to move the antenna to a height below 1 meter.
