Rotating Manipulator/Cutter Instrument

The software interface includes a Rotating Manipulator instrument that provides feedback on the manipulator status.

The instrument displays information about the action of the effector (jaw or cutter), rotation, and power consumption.

Manipulator Instrument Displaying Clockwise Rotation

When Rotating counter-clockwise (as determined by the hand controller motion and when viewed from the ROV's camera), the instrument displays an indication that the effector (jaw or cutter) is Rotating in a counter-clockwise direction.

The bar indicator in the upper right displays the power consumption while the manipulator is being activated.

The rotational feedback is based upon the status of the hand controller input, not the actual manipulator action.
