To stop and reset the equatorial table
timer if it is running, press ENTER. To
restart the timer, press ENTER again.
At any point, EXIT can be pressed and
Argo NavisTM will return to the top-level
menu. The equatorial table timer and
alarm feature will continue to operate in
the background if the timer was left
running.
Examples
Example 1 – You would like to perform
an alignment while the table is stopped.
Move the table to its start position,
enter MODE EQ TABLE and ensure that the
equatorial table timer is stopped. Perform
your FIX ALT REF step and two star
alignment as normal.
Example 2 – Assume that the table and
timer were both started earlier in the night
and are still running and that you would
now like to perform an alignment.
Perform a FIX ALT REF step or and/or
alignment as, whilst the table and timer is
still running. Argo NavisTM provides you
with the flexibility to perform an alignment
either when the table & timer are stopped
or as in this case, when the table and
timer is running.
Example 4 – You would like to GUIDE to
an object while the table is running.
Ensure that the equatorial table timer
was set running simultaneously with when
the table was set running from its start
position. GUIDE to the object as normal.
Example 5 – You would like to
determine the amount of time your table
tracks for before requiring resetting. In
subsequent runs, you would like Argo
NavisTM to provide an audible alarm to
warn you when it is time to reset the table.
Ensure that the equatorial table timer
was set running simultaneously with when
the table was set running from its start
position. Place the unit in MODE EQ TABLE
and observe the elapsed time display.
When the table reaches the end of its
tracking run, note the amount of elapsed
time and enter that value into the EQ
TABLE ALARM setting in SETUP EQ TABLE.
Ensure that EQ TABLE SOUND ALARM has
been set to ON in SETUP EQ TABLE, so that
a brief audio alarm will be sounded on
subsequent runs.
