First, what a great idea by Brian to use a couple of PICs to remove the need for USB.
Now to my slight criticism of the manual. There is a section called 'Antenna Power Out' but this particular area does not specify that the user must modify 'winterhill.ini' to obtain a voltage from the LNB PSUs. Instead, this is covered 7 pages later under 'Initialisation File'. Can someone add a reference to one section from the other or else combine them in some way?
It took me ages to spot how to turn these on!
Great work.

operations manual 3v20a Rev4
Re: operations manual 3v20a Rev4
I'll incorporate that into the next manual revision. Modifying the .ini file is also shown in the installation manual.
There's no absolute requirement to have voltage commands in the .ini file to enable the generators. The voltage configuration still needs to be set in QuickTune. Having the voltage commands in the .ini file allows the beacon frequency calibration to be done automatically at start up.
Due to a bug, VGX and VGY need to be at the end of the command line.
