Workspace

The creation of a customized workspace allows the user to display the desired information to monitor the operation.

Workspace example

For more information, visit the Workspace - Panels section of the Veronte Ops user manual.

This section explains the main settings and widgets that are recommended be incorporated in the workspace to perform a basic flight.

Note

This workspace is designed specifically for the operation being performed, so not all the widgets explained below are necessarily useful for all operations.

Important

The widgets explained are not mandatory, each user should configure the workspace by adding the widgets that provide the best information about the operation.

Map

Veronte Ops offers the possibility to choose the map on which users want to operate. Users can choose from the maps provided by Veronte Ops or upload their own map.

In this operation, the ESRI Satellite map has been employed.

Workspace - Map

For more information, visit the Map option - Workspace section of the Veronte Ops user manual.

Main

Widgets from the “Main” category that have been used are presented below. For more information on these widgets, visit the Main - Widgets section of the Veronte Ops user manual.

• Veronte Panel. This pannel is the basic operator tool. It includes all basic commands (phase and action buttons) and information needed during a standard mission. These commands can be triggered with a single click, by sliding and/or automatically.

  

  Workspace - Veronte Panel

  Important

  PDI Mode: This only appers if PDI Mode is configured in the 1x PDI Builder app.

• Checklist. This panel is used to make sure that some requirements have been met. This represents the checklist explained in Checklist - 1x PDI Builder configuration section.

  

  Workspace - Checklist

  Important

  It must be previously defined in the Checklist panel of the Safety menu of the 1x PDI Builder app.

Displays

These widgets allow the user to display in real time the value of a variable.

For more information, visit the Displays - Widgets section of the Veronte Ops user manual.

• Label. With labels the user can display the value of an Integer variable, Real variable or Bit variable. For a basic flight, the following labels are recommended:

  Variable	Label	Type
  GNSS1 Accuracy		Real variable
  GNSS2 Accuracy		Real variable
  AGL		Real variable
  MSL		Real variable
  Position Fix		Bit variable
  System Error		Bit variable
  Sensors Error		Bit variable
  Stick not detected		Bit variable

  It may also be interesting to display other variables in the labels:

  • Stick-Pitch, Stick-Roll, Stick-Throttle, etc.

  • Arc-Pitch, Arc-Roll, Arc-Throttle, Arc-Yaw

  • Pitching (Q), Pitching (P), Rolling (Q), Rolling (P), etc

  • Down Ground Velocity

  • Static Pressure

  • PDI error

  • Power input

Charts

For more information, visit the Charts - Widgets section of the Veronte Ops user manual.

• Chart. Charts widgets allow the user to represent any variable of the system with respect to time. Thus, the user can visualize the evolution of that variable over time.

  

  Workspace - Charts

  For a basic flight, the following variables are recommended for charts:

  Variable 1	Variable 2
  Desired Roll	Roll
  Desired Pitch	Pitch
  Desired Roll	Yaw
  Desired Ground Speed (GS)	Ground Speed (GS)
  Desired Front GV	Front GV
  Desired Down GV	Down GV
  Desired Lateral GV	Lateral GV
  Desired Heading	Heading
  Desired IAS	IAS
  Desired FPA	Flight Path Angle (FPA)

  It may also be interesting to plot the following variables:

  • Control mix

  • Roll rate, Pitch rate, Yaw rate

  • P, Q, R (Angular Velocity)

• Gauge. Gauge widget is a data visualisation tool that can be used to show the progress of data or display data in ranges in a precise and compact area.

  This widget can also be useful to represent variables such as IAS or Motor RPM:

Flight instruments

Workspace - Flight instruments

For more information, visit the Flight instruments - Widgets section of the Veronte Ops user manual.

• Attitude. The attitude widget, commonly known as Primary Flight Display (PFD) or ‘artificial horizon’, represents graphically the attitude of the aircraft (roll and pitch).

  

  Workspace - Attitude

• Heading. The heading widget, commonly known as compass, usually shows the platform’s yaw relative to the magnetic north.
