2.4  Conduct the Search, Area Clearing or Mapping Operation

After you have launched and stabilized the vehicle, there are several settings that you should double-check before immediately starting the mission. These steps ensure that you have enabled recording, the system is ready to go, and your settings are appropriate now that you are on-site and can assess the actual conditions.

The following items should be double-checked to ensure they are set or in the case of DVL Lock, that it is active.

  • Recording is On
  • Auto heading, altitude, pitch and roll should be On
  • Dynamic Positioning should be On
  • Waypoint locks should be set as desired
  • DVL Lock is required
