Menu > Configuration > Advanced Mission Settings

The following options are available from Menu > Configuration > Advanced Mission Sessions > General:

Option	Description
Enable Relaxed Vertical	If enabled, Hydrus will attempt to stay within its Minimum Bottom Altitude and Maximum Surface Depth operating limits and continue the mission. If disabled, Hydrus will abort the mission and return to the surface if it goes outside its operating limits.
Maximum Surface Depth	The maximum surface depth Hydrus can go to. If it exceeds this depth, it will abort the mission and return to the surface or stay at this depth depending on Enable Relaxed Vertical.
Minimum Bottom Altitude	The minimum bottom altitude Hydrus can go to. If it goes lower than this altitude, it will abort the mission and return to the surface or stay at this altitude depending on Enable Relaxed Vertical.
Maximum Survey Search Distance	The maximum distance that Hydrus will travel in search of a surface along its surveying direction before it gives up the search.
Battery Depletion Go To Recovery Location	If the remaining battery percentage of Hydrus drops below this threshold, it will abort the mission and return to the recovery location.
Battery Depletion Go To Surface	If the remaining battery percentage of Hydrus drops below this threshold, it will abort the mission and return to the surface.
Acoustic Communication Timeout,	If Hydrus loses acoustic communication with Subsonus for this period of time, it will abort the mission and return to the surface.
Enable Low Storage Space Bailout	If enabled, Hydrus will return to the recovery location if it runs out of storage space. If disabled, Hydrus will continue the mission but will not record any data.
Transit at Surface	If enabled, Hydrus will travel at the water surface to get to and from the mission tasks. This setting only applies when Hydrus is in GNSS Dead Reckoning mode.

The following settings are available from Menu > Configuration > Advanced Mission Sessions > Mission Start:

Option	Description
Mission Start Behaviour	Whether to automatically start the mission, or to wait for an acoustic 'resume' command while in the water before starting. This setting only applies when Hydrus is in Subsonus Assisted Mission mode. When Hydrus is in GNSS Dead Reckoning mode, it will always automatically start the mission.
Pause Vertical	Vertical position to pause at after launch. This setting only applies when Hydrus is in Subsonus Assisted Mission mode.

The following options are available from Menu > Configuration > Advanced Mission Sessions > Mission Finish:

Option	Description
Mission Recovery Behaviour	What should hydrus do when it reaches its recovery location. This setting only applies when Hydrus is in Subsonus Assisted Mission mode. When Hydrus is in GNSS Dead Reckoning mode, it will always automatically return to the surface.
Recovery Vertical	Vertical position of recovery location. If Transit at Surface is set, and Hydrus is in GNSS Dead Reckoning mode, then this setting is ignored and Hydrus will transit to the recovery location at the surface of the water.

Hydrus Command Dialog Box

The Hydrus command dialog box serves as an integral part of the Subsonus web UI, providing a comprehensive interface for the remote operation of Hydrus. Divided into four key quadrants, this dialog box offers real-time device monitoring, mission tracking, command execution feedback, and dynamic user control options. This allows the user to monitor the current state of the device, its battery percentage, and ongoing mission status, to controlling its operations and directing its tasks acoustically.

Subsonus display of Hydrus Command Dialog Box

Quadrant	Identifier	Description
1	Device Information	This quadrant shows factual details about the Hydrus device. It includes the 'Device Name', which is the unique identifier for each Hydrus unit. The 'Device State' indicates the current operational status. The 'Reason for Device Being in This State' provides technical insights behind the device's current state.
2	Mission and Battery Status	This quadrant provides information about the device's power and mission status. The 'Battery Percentage' indicates remaining power. The 'Current Mission Running' displays the file name of the active mission. The 'Percentage of Mission Complete' represents the progress made on the mission.
3	Command Status	This quadrant informs about the outcomes of the commands. The 'Command Status' will read 'Task Succeeded' for successful commands or 'Task Failed' for unsuccessful ones.
4	User Controls	This quadrant contains options for user controls. 'Change Device' lets users switch to another Hydrus device.'Open Hydrus Deployment Interface' lets users access the interface to conduct Hydrus operations. 'Continue Mission', 'Pause Mission', and 'Abort Mission' control the status of the current mission. 'Return to Surface' and 'Go to Recovery Location' directs the device to different locations.'Set Recovery Locaton' enables users to update the predetermined home location for Hydrus.'Show Mission Reports' in this quadrant refers to the record of Hydrus's past activities and future tasks once the unit has been deployed. It's important to note that 'Mission Reports' here is specific to the acoustic commands and provides crucial insights into what Hydrus has been doing during its mission.
