Prime Routine: The Prime Routine will power on the RC, and the Drone. The Routine can be executed from the Docking Station Utility window, as well as from the main dashboard screen, next to the mission launch icon.
Once the Prime routine has been executed and the user launches a mission from the dashboard, the docking station enclosure immediately opens with the drone ready to execute the intended action. This enables the user to minimize uptime and respond to incidents more quickly.
Prime routine is currently available with Hextronics and Heisha docking stations only.
To configure the setting to Auto Mode navigate to the Docking Station section in the settings.
An operator can also access the docking station controls from the drones section on the dashboard.
To access the video feed from the docking station's camera, click on the video icon and toggle the video feed.
