The R&S®GB130 is used for positioning antenna rotators in azimuth and elevation. It is equipped with an illuminated LCD for plain text display and a numeric keypad for data entry.

Positioning and data entry can also be remote-controlled via a controller interface (RS-232-C or RS-485). Optional control software is available for this purpose.

The control unit can be used, for instance, with the Antenna Rotator R&S®RD130 (azimuth positioning only).
