The Depth Gauge displays the depth of the ROV and the Auto Depth status. The Depth Gauge is also used to
engage and set Auto Depth.

Use
The depth of the ROV is indicated as a number in the flag, which moves along the scale proportionally to the
depth. As the ROV moves deeper, the flag moves down the scale. As the ROV moves towards the surface, the
flag moves up the scale.
The vertical thruster setting indicator is on the right side of the Depth Gauge. When there is no thrust applied, this
indicator becomes transparent. When thrust is applied, a green shaded section appears within the indicator. The
length of the green shading from the horizontal centerline indicates the amount of user input applied for the
vertical thruster. Vertical up thrust (to move the vehicle towards the surface) is indicated by a green shading
above the horizontal centerline. Vertical down thrust is indicated by a green shading below the horizontal
centerline.
The Auto Depth control/indicator is to the left of the Depth flag. Auto Depth can be used to make the ROV hover
at the current depth or surface or dive to a user specified depth. See the
Guide
for details on using Auto Depth.
The size and display of the Depth Gauge can be adjusted. See the
information.
The feedback of the thruster setting is based upon the status of the hand controller input, not the thruster
action.
