U-See settings

Under this menu entry are grouped all the options that affect the behaviour of the U-See

program and are not strictly associated with an UAV.

Available settings are grouped in four main categories. One by one description will be

given hereafter

2.12.10.1 Alarms & Warnings

Alarms & Warning section allow to change and fine-tune the behavior of the U-See Alarm

system.

This section is divided in three main sections:

• Battery related on-ground alarms: It is possible to define values at which U-See will

launch an alarm, independently of autopilot on-board own alarms limits. This

section allows to define a battery voltage alarm per every available channel. If at

any point the voltage of the channel drops below the configured voltage, the

corresponding ADC channel alarm will trigger. It is possible to define also a

threshold percentage of battery below which ENG alarm will be triggered. For this

alarm to work as designed, it is important to input the correct battery available

capacity in Engine Data (See 2.8.7.1 Electric engine Data)

• General Alarm configuration: Through this section alarms can be configured to emit

a sound whenever its status changes to an abnormal condition, and also, it is

possible to make the triggered alarm blink until the user acknowledges the alarm by

clicking on it. This prevents intermittent problems go unadvertised and we strongly

recommend to activate both features. When configured to blink, alarms will

continue to blink even if they return to nominal status.

• GPWS warning levels: The last section of the window allows configuration of the

GPWS warning system levels. Rotary and fixed wing may have different warning

levels. Altitudes introduced in this section are AGL (Above Ground Level) indications

and the dialog will force the critical value to be lower than the warning level and

those two lower than the low altitude level. For more information, see 2.5.3 GPWS
