6X Series Sensors Data Offload Process

Getting Started

The 6X stores the imagery on an internal solid state hard drive that is not removable from the sensor. Use the process outline below to access the collected data.

Imagery is NOT stored on the micro SD card.

Power On Sensor

Power the 6X using the AC adapter or keep it attached to the aircraft and turn the aircraft on.

When using the AC power supply, connect the cable to the 6X first, then connect the adapter to the outlet.

Then wait for the LEDS on the sensor to do the following:

Power Method
LED Behavior

AC Power Adapter

Flashing Red

Drone Power

Solid Green (Requires GPS Fix) Solid Red ( After 2 minutes w/o GPS)

This verifies that the sensor is fully booted and ready for data offload.

Connect USB-C Cable to Sensor and Computer

Connect the sensor to the computer using a USB cable.

Use the USB-C port on the sensor not the USB-C port on the top of the gimbal.

Use the USB-C Cable provided with the 6X. This cable gives the best and most reliable performance.

For OEM sensor configurations, Ethernet connectivity is also available on the 8-pin J4 connector.

Verify Connection

Open your wifi/network panel from the task bar. Verify that you see "unidentified network - No internet". This is the 6X appearing as a network device.

Open A File Browser Window

Navigate To Sensor Storage

Navigate to the 6X internal storage by typing \\192.168.42.1 into the address bar of the file browser and pressing enter.

The sensor may need a minute to fully boot before it can be accessed via the file browser.

If the 6X can't be connected to after a few minutes try the following: - Turn off/disconnect any Wi-Fi or Ethernet connections that have internet access. - Verify the USB cable being used is the provided cable or one of the listed compatible cables.

Adding this file path to Quick Access can be helpful for repeated use.

Login To Sensor

Windows will display a network credentials pop-up. The user name is sentera and there is no password. Press OK.

If your user account is controlled by a domain .\sentera may need to be used as the username. If this does not work please see link below on how to resolve issue.

Select Data Folder

Select Snapshots

Select Session Folder

Session folders are the folders where the imagery is stored for each flight.

If the 6X is not power cycled between flights that are intended to be separate (i.e. not a battery swap) all of the photos from both flights will be stored in the same session folder.
