• Show Platforms button: By expanding the DRx tab, each Autopilot 1x within the DRx group is displayed.

  

• Autopilot 1x in command: The Autopilot 1x selected by the monitor is marked with the icon.

  

  Important

  '1x Selected by the monitor' is not equivalent of '1x Selected in Veronte Ops'.

  Example:

  In the image below:

  • Autopilot 1x Primary: Autopilot selected by the arbiter, i.e. in command.
  • Autopilot 1x Recovery: Autopilot selected in Veronte Ops.

  

  In the following image, the recovery autopilot is selected instead.
