| 15 | Useful usage notes: |
| 16 | * X,Y movement is limited within a 1.3m x 1.3m area. |
| 17 | * The antenna arrays may be rotated +/-45° about their vertical axis. |
| 18 | * The centers of the tables are approximately 20m apart. |
| 19 | * The coordinate systems of the tables are 180° rotated from each other (xytable1 has 0,0 in the "lower-right", while xytable2 has 0,0 in the "upper-left"). |
| 20 | * For the arrays to be aligned "head on", the x-coordinate must follow this pattern: |
| 21 | * When xytable1 at x=0, then xytable2 at x=1300 |
| 22 | * When xytable1 at x=650, then xytable2 at x=650 |
| 23 | * When xytable1 at x=1300, then xytable2 at x=0 |
| 24 | * Angles are defined relative to each array. |
| 25 | * Angles toward the "positive direction" are clockwise when viewed from overhead. |
| 26 | * Angles toward the "negative direction" are counter-clockwise when viewed from overhead. |
| 27 | * If the antennas are aligned on the x-axis, then an angle of 0° will ensure the antennas are facing each other. |
