The first step in using the DCX5000 for lateral launch applications is to have it set up correctly. To do this, we suggest you create a profile that displays the most commonly used soft keys related to lateral launch functions.
| Lateral Launch Cruise Control – When activated, the launch cable will continuously launch without holding the launch mechanism on the left joystick. | |
| Aiming Tube Control – When activated the left joystick pans and tilts the aiming tube on the end of the SAT crawler. When de-activated the left joystick pans and tilts the PTP70 camera head. | |
| Aiming Tube Home Position – When pressed, the aiming tube will return to the home position (0 degree pan and 0 degree tilt). | |
| When activated, the user can toggle between automatic and manual control of the SAT cable reel. When de-activated, the user can toggle between automatic and manual control of the crawler cable reel. | |
| Turns on the locating sonde in the PTP70 camera head. |
