U-See User Manual - U-See

U-See

2.1

Introduction

U-See is the software the operator will use to monitor and command the mission. All the

information displayed by U-See comes from U-Pilot. This way the operator can be sure that

the info displayed on the map is the actual information being used on-board for navigation

and control.

The map engine connects to the Internet and fetches Geo-referenced maps and displays

them for you. The End User is not required to manually load maps and worry about their

alignment. However, it is possible to load such external maps through MapManager

application that is distributed alongside U-See, and choosing map theme display is

available in the settings dialog.

For operational deployments without Internet connectivity, U-See keeps a local cache of

already displayed locations

Recommended Hardware

U-See runs on a standard PC.

The recommended hardware is the MacBook Pro 13” with BootCamp and Microsoft

Windows 7.

Minimum hardware specification:

• Intel Core i5 processor.

• 2GB RAM.

• 4 GB free hard drive.

• OpenGL capable graphics Video Card.

• 13-inch (diagonal) screen.

• 1 RS-232 port or an available USB port with a serial USB to RS-232 converter.

• 1 Extra free USB port for license dongle.

All complex computer graphics drawn in U-See use OpenGL, the computer's video card is

computing all the information. As a result, the processor load is lower and it is free to

compute the mission information.

2.3

Software compatibility

U-See supports the main Operating Systems (Windows, Linux and MacOS X). However,

MacOS X is considered a second-tier platform and some functionality may not be available

when operating with MacOSX OS. Contact Airelectronics and we will provide you with the
