Depends on the tracking unit. Most were setup and knew "about" where the sat should be located then used a AGC loop to to fine tracking. A easy sun tracker would do about the same using some photo diodes or small solar cells at 4 points on the dish wired to just balance the readings from opposing units. It is trivial to use a embedded setup to track the sun. Interfacing that to your tracker could be a issue. If you send me specs on what you have I would be happy to see what could be done.
