Heading

The Heading pane provides a visual representation of the serial data collected in the Heading field, typically representing the ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) heading.

This view allows you to quickly determine compass directions, including:

  • Compass direction relative to the ROV: You can easily identify which direction is left of the ROV and which is to the right. This information is particularly useful during pipeline inspections.

  • Structure orientation: You can determine which face of a structure you are likely looking at. This feature is valuable for structure inspections.

The Heading pane offers two viewing modes:

  • North Up: In this mode, the yellow heading indicator moves, ensuring that north remains at the top of the pane.

  • Heading Up: In this mode, the yellow heading indicator remains stationary at the top of the pane, while the compass points rotate accordingly.

To switch between North Up and Heading Up modes, simply right-click in the white space anywhere within the Heading panel and choose the desired mode from the drop-down menu:
