• CAM: displays the latitude, longitude, and MSL altitude of the gimbal as reported by the
GPS/INS
• FOV: shows the camera’s horizontal field of view.
• MODE: shows the current mode of the gimbal. Possible values are: “RTE”- rate mode, “GEO” -
geopoint mode, “FFC” - gimbal is preforming an FFC operation, “SCN” - scene tracking mode,
“TRK” - target tracking mode, “DIS” - disabled, “POS” fixed position mode.
• IMG: displays the latitude, longitude, MSL altitude, and range from gimbal of the image
position. The image position is the point on the earth where the gimbal is looking. SkyLink
must have elevation data for this to be accurate! If SkyLink doesn’t have elevation data for
the current image position “NO ELEVATION DATA” will appear.
• PAN and TILT: show the pan and tilt angles as dials. A pan of 0 will result in an arrow
pointing up, while a pan of 180 will show an arrow pointing down. A tilt of 0 will show an
arrow pointing right while a tilt of -90 will show an arrow pointing down.
• The N arrow will point toward north in relation to the video image.

light to see a message why it is active. Clicking on the warning light opens the telemetry menu to the
