Engine Room Controls

Various control buttons are included in the Engine Room. From right to left, these include:

Unlocking the Systems Tuning Parameters

To modify the systems tuning parameters (described in more detail in the next section), you must first unlock the systems tuning panel. Unlock the systems tuning panel by clicking on the Lock toggle. This will turn the locked icon into the unlocked icon and activate the systems tuning panel. You can then modify the settings.

The button displays the current state of the Lock/Unlock setting. If the button shows the lock icon, the Systems Tuning panel is locked and clicking on the Lock/Unlock Systems Tuning panel will unlock the Systems Tuning panel.

Restoring the Factory Default Systems Tuning Parameters

To restore the factory default values for the systems tuning parameters, click on the Restore to Factory Defaults button.

Restore to Factory Defaults

You must click on the Store Settings button if you want the factory defaults to be stored on the ROV for future sessions.

Store the Settings for Future Sessions

Store Settings on the ROV (or simply: Store Settings)

To store the systems tuning parameters on the ROV for future sessions, click on the Store Settings on the ROV button.

When you are finished modifying the systems tuning parameters, click on the Lock toggle to lock the Systems Tuning panel and avoid inadvertently changing a setting.

Calibrate the Compass

Calibrate Compass

For more information, see the section about Compass Calibration.

The compass is calibrated at the factory and should not need to be recalibrated.

Reset the ROV

Reset ROV

To reset the ROV, click on the Reset ROV button.

Resetting the ROV is like rebooting a computer. This button allows the ROV be reset without having to power down the system or unplug and replug the tether. In general, the ROV should not need to be reset, but this feature may help with some diagnostics procedures.

Launch VideoRay Update

The remaining button in this section is used to update the firmware in the ROV.
