Let's take a closer look at each of the interface elements starting with the Control Bar.

The Control Bar includes buttons to:

• Record and take a snapshot.
• Enable the Auto stability modes, including Auto Heading, Auto Depth or Auto Altitude, Auto Pitch, and Auto Roll.
• Enable Dynamic Positioning.
• Enable Orbit and Sonar Orbit modes.
• Enable the Hold feature that can be used to pause a mission when the vehicle reaches the next waypoint.
• Open the Jog Controls window.
• Switch between Operator mode and Diagnostics mode.

When activated, the buttons change color from blue to green.

Note that Auto Depth and Auto Altitude cannot be selected at the same time.

Each of these modes will be discussed in more detail in upcoming lessons.
