In the status line at the top of this window, general ight information is given.
On the top left corner under “GPS”, the quality of the GPS signal can be seen, indicated by 1 to 5 bars.
Next to the right of the window is the place for UAS messages. If everything is ne, SYSTEM OK is mentioned in a green bar. In
case there are warnings, the eld will turn red and display the respective warning.
Next to the UAS messages is another green bar which indicates the remaining battery capacity as a percentage, followed by
the actual performed ight time and the selected ight mode (GPS).
Tapping the button in the top right corner displays the preview video in full screen mode.
Tapping again will revert to the previous view.
In the lower right corner is more ight information, which refers to the UAV: Orientation, Height, and Distance from the take-
o point. Tapping that eld will toggle the view between the video preview and a map view (in case a map has been loaded
from an AscTec Navigator project). Please go to www.intel.com/Falconmanual to learn more about the AscTec Navigator.
In the left top corner (under GPS) are buttons for two dierent functions:
Tapping the PATH button opens the PATH function, where ight paths can be stored and edited.
Tapping the NAVIGATOR button opens the NAVIGATOR window, where AscTec Navigator projects can be loaded
and own.
Tapping this button opens a window which gives information about the software (version, available updates, etc.).
