Starting a Mission

To start a mission you add waypoints to the map.

A mission is a set of instructions that determines the vehicle's path and actions when in automated mode. A path is constructed with a series of markers we refer to as waypoints for the vehicle to follow.

Retrieving a Mission

To retrieve a mission, press the Load Mission From File button. A file browser will open and the user can navigate to the saved mission file. The stored waypoints will appear on the screen. Click the Push to Vehicle button to load the mission to the vehicle's computer. The mission is now ready to go.

Executing a Mission

To execute a mission, it must be pushed to the vehicle and then activated. The mission is pushed to the vehicle by selecting the Push Mission To Vehicle button from the Mission tab of the navigation control. Once the mission has been given to the vehicle, it is activated and deactivated by the Waypoint Following button within the Autopilot Control. If the waypoints are modified they must be pushed to the vehicle again before the vehicle will begin following the new instructions.

Editing Waypoints

To move a waypoint with the mouse simply click and drag it to the desired location. Precise location and other waypoint details are edited in the Waypoints tab.

The most important waypoint configuration options are Down, Down Mode, Speed, Tolerance and Configured Tasks.

What is a Mission?

Flight View Overview

The Flight View is the default Greensea Workspace display, accessed by clicking the Greensea icon on the Navigation Bar. All the tools used to monitor the ROV are located on the Flight View. (Note: Older versions of the system may have a flame icon in place of the Greensea icon.)

Mission View Shortcuts

Below is a list of keyboard shortcuts to enable quick navigation throughout the workspace. To gain a better understanding of the workspace shortcuts, it is recommended that the operator spend a few moments using the shortcuts to test their functionality.
