- **Rotator name** is used to identify the rotator on the web control page.
- **Start CCW azimuth** is the end value of the start of rotation in the counter clockwise direction. This is the azimuth that the rotator is rotated in real conditions, if it is in this end position.
- **Rotation range in degrees** is the rotation range of the rotator between two (CCW and CW) endpoints in degrees.

- **Antenna radiation angle in degrees,** is the value of the width of the radiation angle of your antenna, which will be applied in the display of the control page.
- **Azimuth source** is a choice between a signal source for azimuth determination. The potentiometer is the default value. The CW/CCW pulse function is then not implemented now.
- **The azimuth potentiometer** is a choice between two and three-wire variants. **The two-wire** variant uses a constant current source of 9mA and enables the connection of a potentiometer **smaller than 1kΩ.** The **three-wire** variant uses a constant voltage source of 9V and enables the connection of a potentiometer of **500Ω or more.** You can find the connection in the [[#azimuth_potentiometer|Azimuth potentiometer]] section.

- **Azimuth gain/shift op-amp,** is turned ON, **ONLY when using a multi-turn three-wire potentiometer,** of which only one turn is used. Because one turn generates a small change at the input of the AD converter, it is possible to help amplify the preamplifier. How to do it:
- The first step is to **set the trimmers R80 and R81 to the default position.** Connect the ohmmeter to the measuring point S (J1, J12) and turn the trimmer R81 counterclockwise until the ohmmeter shows a value close to 0Ω. We repeat the same thing with trimmer R80 and measuring points and G (J13, J14).

- **CW/CCW forbidden zone (software endstops),** are values of the range of forbidden zones in millivolts. the entire range of the rotator represents a voltage of 0 to 3.3V. The setting value will appear in the Calibration page as a yellow area at the edges of the range. If the rotator is set correctly, it only allows movement in the direction from the edge to the center. Keep the protection zone large enough to prevent damage to the rotator.
- **Watchdog speed** is the minimum rotation speed in seconds per one turn, which if the rotator does not reach, it will be stopped by the watchdog. Use a value at least 50% higher than the real speed to avoid false stops.
- **Motor supply,** is a choice between AC and DC rotator type. The DC type enables the activation of the PWM start-up and run-down ramps.
- **DC PWM control** activates the PWM ramp-up and ramp-down when using the DC rotator. If you use a rotator without hardware endstops, the destruction of one component (power mosfet) can cause the rotator to crash. Therefore, it is safe to connect one more active element in series (relay intended for the brake). **This setup is highly recomended, see [[#dc_motor_with_pwm_without_hardware_endstop_safe_mode|Connection section]].**
