Status indicators and alarms provide the operator with feedback on the system's status and operational state. In general, status indicators provide operational feedback, and alarms indicate a hardware problem.

The following status indicators are provided:

• DP Status
  • Red Standby - The system does not have a DVL lock and is unable to navigate the ROV.
  • Green DP - The system is able to navigate the ROV.

• Navigation
  • Green Nav Global - The navigation reference frame is in global coordinates and based on either GPS or DVL tracking.
  • Yellow Nav Local - The navigation reference frame is in local coordinates and based on DVL tracking.
  • Red Nav Fault - The navigation system is unable to track the position of the ROV.

• In Position
  • Gray In Position - The ROV is either in Manual mode or has not reached its objective location when it is in an auto flight mode.
  • Green In Position- The ROV has reached its objective location.

• Joystick
  • Gray Joystick - There is no joystick input.
  • Gray Joystick - There is joystick input.

• DVL Lock
  • Red DLV Lock - The DVL is not able to track the ROV's location.
  • Green DLV Lock - The DVL is tracking the ROV's location.

• Sonar
  • Red Sonar - Sonar data is not being received or the sonar has been turned off.
  • Green Sonar - Sonar data is being received.

• GPS
  • Red GPS - GPS data is not being received or the GPS has been turned off.
  • Grey GPS - GPS data is being received but it is of low quality.
  • Green Sonar - GPS data is being received and is of good quality.

The following Alarms are illuminated when the corresponding device or system is not working properly:

• AutoPos - The system has encountered an internal error.
• Depth - The ROV's depth is not detected.
• DVL - The DVL is not detected.
• GPS - The GPS is not detected.
• Gyro - The ROV's gyros are not detected.
• I/O - An internal system error has occurred.
• Navigation - The system is unable to Navigate.
• Sonar - The sonar is not detected.
• USP - An internal network communications error has occurred.
