Program Start-up Procedure

CoPilot RI software requires that VideoRay Cockpit be operating. For more information about the Pro 4 and VideoRay Cockpit, see the Pro 4 Operator's Manual.

To access the Copilot RI operating environment, make sure VideoRay Cockpit is running and the ROV is operating, then click on the CoPilot button on the VideoRay Cockpit control bar.

This will start a Virtual Machine, which will appear on the second monitor by default. On the "desktop" of the virtual machine, there is a program icon for the CoPilot RI program. Double click the CoPilot RI icon (or right-click and select "Open") to start CoPilot RI.
