Description

"The large communications unit can be used to trade with nearby vessels."
- Stationpedia

Like all satellite dishes it is used together with a Computer fitted with a Motherboard (Communications) to allow Interstellar Communications.

The Satellite Dish must be guided by Satellite Tracking onto a signal and communications may be established once the signal strength is greater than 94%

Input Data (Write)

These are all parameters, that can be written to with different means of using logic.

Parameter Name	Data Type	Value	Description
On	Boolean	0	Turns the device off. Also toggles the switch accordingly.
		1	Turns the device on. Also toggles the switch accordingly.
Activate	Boolean	0	If the vessel's being interrogated, stop interrogating the vessel; or nothing.
		1	If the vessel's has not been interrogated, start interrogating the vessel. If the vessel has been interrogated, call down the vessel to the TargetPadIndex.
Setting	Integer	0 ~ Max watts of device.	Set output watts to the specified number.
Horizontal	Integer	0 ~ 360	Set dish's horizontal angle to the specified number.
Vertical	Integer	0 ~ 90	Set dish's vertical angle to the specified number.
TargetPadIndex	Integer		Sets the landing pad index for potential call down.
BestContactFilter	Integer		Lock dish to track the specified ContactIDHash ONLY, set to -1 to unlock.

Output Data (Read)

These are all parameters, that can be read by using different means of logic.

Parameter Name	Data Type	Value	Description
On	Boolean	0	The Dish is not powered. This is the same as the physical red powerswitch located on the structure.
		1	The Dish is powered. This is the same as the physical red powerswitch located on the structure.
Activate	Boolean	0	Read out current Activate value; if Activate == 1, it means the dish is either interrogating the vessel or the vessel is just coming down to landing pad.
Power	Boolean	0	The dish is not powered. Can be read to determine if the dish is correctly powered or not. Set by the power system, return 1 if powered and 0 if not.
		1	The Dish is powered.
Setting	Integer		Read out current dish's output watts.
Horizontal	Integer		Read out current dish's horizontal angle.
Vertical	Integer		Read out current dish's vertical angle.
RequiredPower	Integer		Idle operating power quantity. Does not include extra power during actual usage.
Idle	Boolean		Read out if the dish is not moving.
Idle	Boolean	0	Dish not moving, and not interrogating.
		1	Dish is either moving or interrogating.
Error	Boolean	0	1 if device is in error state, otherwise 0.
		1	1 if device is in error state, otherwise 0.
SignalStrength	Integer		The signal strength of currently tracking signal, negative value, larger is better. If the dish is moving, this value always show -1.
SignalID	Integer		The signal IDHASH of currently tracking signal.
InterrogationProgress	Integer		This value only has meaning if the dish has started interrogation to the vessel. Show's percentage on the process of the interrogation.
TargetPadIndex	Integer		Read out current value of target landing pad index, useful if you want to call down the vessel by code.
SizeX	Integer		The length on X axis of the vessel, see SHUTTLE_TYPE.
SizeZ	Integer		The length on Z axis of the vessel, see SHUTTLE_TYPE.
Reagents	Integer		Total number of reagents inside the device (e.g. 92g of iron = 92).
MinimumWattsToContact	Integer		The minimum watts required reaching target vessel before one can initiate interrogation. This is the requirement imposed by the vessel.
WattsReachingContact	Integer		The current effective watts reached target vessel due to angle setting and dish's watts output setting.
ContactTypeId	Integer		The category of the vessel, see ContactTypeID.
BestContactFilter	Integer		Currently locked ContactID, or -1 if not set.
StackSize	Integer		Read out the stack Byte count of the structure.
NameHash	Integer		The hash of the custom name of the structure.
PrefabHash	Integer		The hash of the structure.
Referenceld	Integer		Unique Reference Identifier for this object.
