D Overlap mode
The default configuration uses the DLS 2’s integrated GPS. Use the provided cable to connect
the DLS 2 to the camera. Ensure the DLS 2’s physical installation meets the requirements
outlined later in the DLS 2 section of this guide. Connect a compatible power supply to the
camera’s power pins. For more details about power, see the Input and Output section of this
guide.
Once attached to the aircraft, use the
to determine the necessary overlap
percentage for your desired Ground Sample Distance and Target Altitude, then input the
parameters into the Overlap settings, outlined in the Triggering section in this guide. The
sensor will begin capturing once it is within the Target Altitude Tolerance of your Target
Altitude. It will capture often enough to maintain your overlap percentage at your desired
altitude. This will ensure enough coverage to create a mosaic of your flight area with your
preferred photogrammetry software.
