Configuration

Introduction

The configuration page is used to change:

  • How the 65R interacts with the aircraft it is connected to.

  • The triggering method

In most cases the 65R is preconfigured based on what aircraft/system the camera is ordered for and the configuration doesn't need to be changed.

If using the Inspired Flight RTK PPK Module please ensure the sensor is set to the Sentera GNSS configuration. View the Support link below for information on changing sensor configuration. 65R Sensor | Sentera Support

To learn how to change the configuration of the 65R or change the overlap for auto-height overlap mode, see the pages linked below.

How To Instructions

How To Change Overlap SettingsHow To Change Configuration

Platform/Metadata Configuration

The platform and metadata configuration is used to tell the 65R what aircraft it will be used with and where data sources (altitude, GPS, heading, etc) will come from.

Config File

The Config File field will display the currently config file. It also contains the change button used for changing the config file.

Depending on the current config file there will be limited config files displayed in the change menu. To display all configuration file options select the "All platform configurations" and/or the "Advanced configurations" radio buttons as shown in the advanced tab below.

Config Type

The Config Type is tied to the config file and gives more specific instruction about the metadata sources. The config names and data source information are listed below.

In the IF800 GNSS configuration, the RTK-PPK module is required to initialize the sensor. Without the RTK-PPK module, the sensor will not get green LED indicator lights, and will not be ready to capture data.

Configurations with 65R Sensor Internal IMU as an Attitude source does not contain yaw/heading information.

Trigger

The trigger field is used to set the trigger type and related settings.

Trigger Type

The Command trigger type is used when the trigger commands come directly from the aircraft autopilot.

No settings are provided for this mode. The sensor will only trigger if it receives a trigger command from MAVLink, the web page, Payload SDK, or the custom Sentera Protocol.

The External trigger type is used when an external source is used to trigger the 65R.

There are 4 options for the external trigger commands. See the details in the table below.

Rising/Falling Edge

Low/High PWM

Mode
Description

Rising Edge

The trigger input must be stable for 50 milliseconds to register as a commanded trigger. This is also known as the mechanical switch debounce period.

Falling Edge

The trigger input must be stable for 50 milliseconds to register as a commanded trigger. This is also known as the mechanical switch debounce period.

Low PWM

The lower value of the PWM TRIGGER input in milliseconds.

High PWM

The higher value of the PWM TRIGGER input in milliseconds.

The trigger input is the TRIGGER signal on connector J2.
