Titanium Satellite ASC1 Loader / Editor v1.6 Released

[Titanium]

The latest version of the ASC1 Loader / Editor is available for download.

Download

ASC1 Loader Editor version 1.6 adds manual port selection for ports 1 -15. This adds more compatibility with PCs when selecting the active port for the RS-232 serial communication device.

Good to see this!

 

[Magic Static]

Works well. Not to be picky but you forgot to change the version number on the window header

 

[Titanium]

Thanks!

Will post up a renamed version.

I have a question about maximum memory position in ASC1 , now is possible 99 . My friends and I have in Europa a system from 91,5e to 58w and 99 position is not enough for a 3 meter dish system. I think 150 or 200 for advanced will be enough.

Can we expect a greater/enlarged memory capacity in ASC1 . more than the 99 position?

Thanks, I appreciate your response in advance!

 

[Titanium]

Can we expect a greater/enlarged memory capacity in ASC1 . more than the 99 position?

The DiSEqC limit is 99 index positions, but we will be adding additional motor index settings that are addressable by front panel and remote control.

Considering a total of 200 motor index positions. Is this number adequate?

http://www.lyngsat.com/atlantic.html
72.1E to 3.1 East has 31 positions
http://www.lyngsat.com/europe.html
0.8 West to 61 west has 43 positions
31 + 43 = 74 Short of 99 by 25.
So, I guess I don't see the need for 200 positions.
Can you elaborate?

 

[riz-la]

Enigma 2 receiver is possible memorize more than 99 , like my AzboxMe .
Some of my friends receive a signal from 96e to 58w .
Asia 15 + Europe 43 + Atlantic 28 = 86 , and some positions are missing on lyngsat you can check on flysat . also some satellite work circular in C band and linear Ku band , that means you need 2 memory positions for one satellite because it is a different skew .

200 positions would be enough! Thanks!

 

[Hockeynut]

200 positions would be enough! Thanks!

You are not in Wilmington NC.!!.....I have to agree 200 would be enough for any tinkerer!..Better to have more capacity than needed than to find ones self on a late night sat list build and position build and be in a bind!.

Actualy I live in wilmington nc but temporarily . My wife promises we can move back to europe in 16 years haha. Here I heave sat. system 24,5w-137w , look at my videos

I was unaware of any DiSEqC controllers or slaves exceeding 99 DiSEqC 1.2 motor index positions. How many DiSEqC 1.2 positions are supported with the Enigma 2 OS?


Brian Gohl

[updatelee]

Diseqc v1.2 supports 256 positions (really 255, cause position 0x00 is often a reference position and unsetable)

Wether the software utilizes all those or not is upto the software. I typically do in mine, just for ease of memory.

ie I store 87w at position 87, and 107w at position 107, and 127w at position 127 just easier to remember what bird is stored at what position. I know many receivers store them in order, but there is no real reason to, you dont have to.

note: Im not using a normal motor either though. Im using my arduino controller for an actuator till the ASC1 shows up. Just pointing out that I could defn utilize more memory positions.

[Titanium]

We will add support for at least 200 Index Positions.

Thank you Updatelee!

I realize that the DiSEqC 1.2 protocol supports 256, but what products exist that support anything past 99 Index Positions. I know that many receivers are limited to only 30-50 DiSEqC 1.2 Index Positions with many more advanced devices supporting up to 99. Had not encountered any gear that had support for anything beyond 99.

I'm not sure. I haven't used a real receiver in over 5 years. I'm in the minority where I didn't like what was out there so I wrote my own apps.

 

[FaT Air]

as 27.5W Intelsat 907 Ku ,85,45,-45 & 27.5W Intelsat 907 C ,86,45,-45
is the same position. And there's more of the same in the list.
still confused.
Sidecar style LNBF's so the Ku count is different than the 'C' ??

 

[riz-la]

I'm taking about ASC1 with Corotor II Wideband !
If corotor adjusted correctly, Ku band will have all satellite in linear on same skew +45, -45 same is for C band in linear polarity . in that case you can use same position and skew on single satellite ( example: 43.1W Intelsat 11 C/Ku ,92,45,-45 and 45.0W Intelsat 14 C/Ku ,93,45,-45 )

It is different on satellite with linear Ku and circular C ,like : 27.5W Intelsat 907 Ku ,85,45,-45 KU band linear , and for example C band circular 27.5W Intelsat 907 C ,86,05,-90 <-- change skew for better understanding
In that case you need two positions in ASC1 on the same satellite because it is different skew between Ku and C

I hope this makes sense...

Titanium
Add all 256 positions in ASC1 if it is not a problem .

Got it.
