[QUOTE="deeptho, post: 1129655, member: 215446"] That is a good question. I had to look up the code to find the answer. My code was written to simulate a badly aligned dish. This enabled me to understand what is wrong with the setup. So when your dish is badly aligned then you will find that sometimes you get a stronger signal by driving the dish to a slightly wrong position. The elevation error measures the vertical angle between the clark belt and the arc tracked by the dish. The angle error then measures the angle between the dish axis and the line to the the sattelite, With a poorly aligned dish, and after optimising usals position to get maximal signal, the satellite is not exactly above or below the position that that the dish points to, so this "angle error" is not measured in a vertical plane. The name on the legend is misleading. It should say "angle error" and not "azimuth error" [/QUOTE]
