Transport/transit_sink.tl¶
Mission ID: transit_sink
Mission Path: Transport/transit_sink.tl
Vehicle dives immediately with no comms/GPS and transits to desired waypoint and can be commanded to use/hold mass or buoyancy. When SinkOffSurface is true, the vehicle descends to SinkDepth using buoyancy only before driving, and after each NeedComms interval.
Arguments¶
MissionTimeout¶
MissionTimeout = 60 minute
Maximum duration of mission
NeedCommsTime¶
NeedCommsTime = 30 minute
How often to surface for commumications
Latitude¶
Latitude = NaN degree
Latitude of waypoint to seek. If set to NaN, uses latitude at mission initialization.
Longitude¶
Longitude = NaN degree
Longitude of waypoint to seek. If set to NaN, uses longitude at mission initialization.
Northings¶
Northings = 0 meter
Northward distance of the waypoint to seek. If combined with Latitude and/or Longitude, this is an offset from the specified Latitude and/or Longitude.
Eastings¶
Eastings = 0 meter
Eastward distance of the waypoint to seek. If combined with Latitude and/or Longitude, this is an offset from the specified Latitude and/or Longitude.
Depth¶
Depth = 10 meter
Depth of flat and level flight during the mission.
Speed¶
Speed = 1 meter_per_second
Speed of vehicle (relative to water) during the mission.
SinkOffSurface¶
SinkOffSurface = false
If true, use buoyancy only to decend to SinkDepth before driving to the commanded Depth. Also applies after each NeedComms interval.
SinkDepth¶
SinkDepth = 10 meter
Initial depth to decend using only buoyancy before driving.
SinkDepthTimeout¶
SinkDepthTimeout = 10 minute
Max wait time for the vehicle to reach the target sink depth.
MaxDepth¶
MaxDepth = 20 meter
Maximum depth for the entire mission.
MinOffshore¶
MinOffshore = 1 kilometer
Minimum distance offshore for the entire mission.
MinAltitude¶
MinAltitude = 7 meter
Minimum height above the sea floor for the entire mission.
MassHold¶
MassHold = true
Set to True in order to hold mass at default position, False to allow mass to run on its own.
BuoyancyHold¶
BuoyancyHold = true
Set to True in order to hold buoyancy at neutral position, False to allow buoyancy to run on its own.
Output¶
DiveMode¶
DiveMode = 0 count
Mission variable (don't change). The mission sets this variable to switch between dive modes. Initialized to DoingComms.
DoingComms¶
DoingComms = 0 count
Mission variable (don't change). The mission will run in this mode when doing surface comms.
SurfaceSink¶
SurfaceSink = 1 count
Mission variable (don't change). The mission will run in this mode when sinking from the surface using only buoyancy.
Cruise¶
Cruise = 2 count
Mission variable (don't change). The mission will run in this mode when driving to the waypoint at commanded Depth.
