Device Controls

  • Start/Stop button starts and stops pinging. The button label toggles to indicate the current state.

  • Not Recording toggles log recording

  • 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
