Topside Location Source sets the source of the topside location. If you have a GPS in your session or you're using an Omnitrack and want that position to be used, select "Automatic". If you don't have a GPS or it's behaving poorly and you want to set the topside location manually, select "Manual"
The Topsdie coordinate input box only shows up in Manual mode. This allows you to set the location of the topside
Send Mavlink Postion Updates via SonarView checkbox only shows up when you have a mavlink vehicle configured in your session. When turned on, SonarView will send the global position of the deepside to the mavlink2rest server via the GPS_INPUT mavlink message. This will only happen when the topside also has a global position
Calibrate will bring up the gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer calibrator dialog for the rovl topside.
ROVL Configurator bring you to the configuration and status page hosted by the ROVL itself (non-serial ROVL only). Please review this page for various settings
Sim Data makes the ROVL send simulated data as if the target was at a slant range of 100 m and a relative bearing of 0 degrees and a relative elevation of -20 degrees.
Stop Sim turns off the simulated data
