Introduction

The home page of the 65R webpage displays the sensor status, session control, trigger control, and calibration control menus. This is the default landing page when the webpage is accessed.

Status

The status field displays the telemetry information received from external sources like the aircraft autopilot or light sensor/GPS.

GPS Status

The GPS status displays the GPS information currently available to the 65R.

Item	Information
Latitude	latitude location in decimal degrees.
Longitude	Longitude location in decimal degrees.
Alt	Current altitude in meters (AMSL)
GPS Time	The Coordinated Universal Time as received from the satellites.
Fix Type	The type of GPS fix that has been acquired. Unknown - Unknown fix type. None - No fix achieved. 2D - 2 dimensional position. 3D - 3 dimensional position. DGPS - DGPS/SBAS aided 3D position. RTK Float - RTK with float ambiguities. RTK Fixed - RTK with fixed ambiguities.
Sats	The number of satellites that are detected by the GPS source.
Horz Acc	The horizontal accuracy of the GPS fix in meters.
Vert Acc	The vertical accuracy of the GPS fix in meters.
DOP	The dilution of precision of the GPS accuracy.

Attitude

The attitude status displays the current attitude of the 65R in the earth reference frame.

The attitude information source is dependent on the selected configuration. See the configuration page for detailed information.

Item	Information
Roll	The roll angle of the sensor in degrees.
Pitch	The pitch angle of the sensor in degrees.
Yaw	The yaw angle of the sensor in degrees.

Session Control

Session Control displays if the 65R is ready to take imagery or not. If a session is started, the 65R is ready. If a session is not started automatically the 65R may not be ready. However, a session can be started manually if desired.

Session control is displayed in 2 states:

Session In Progress

The 65R has detected that it is ready to begin collecting imagery. The session start criteria is based on the configuration of the 65R.

Start Session

The 65R did not automatically start a session.

To start a session manually:

1. Name the session in the text input box, or leave the default web_session name.

2. Press the Start Session button.

3. Verify the status lights on the 65R turn solid green.

Starting a session manually can be useful for ground testing.

Starting a session manually before a flight is not recommended as the 65R may not have the telemetry information necessary for successful data capture.

Trigger Control

The 65R can be manually triggered using the Capture Image button in the Trigger Control field. This is useful for ground testing, or when manual image capture is applicable.

Press the Capture Image button (a session must be started) and the 6X will take an image (1 image per imager). The status LEDs on the 65R will briefly flash from green to white.

The 65R can also be manually triggered using the physical pushbutton trigger on the side of the sensor.
