In the next window, select the preferable vehicle profile.
There are two ways to describe data in CSV:
•without column names (headers) - in that case, a column order defines a data meaning;
•with column names (header) - in that case, column names (headers) a data meaning.
CSV schema without column names (header):
CSV file must have 3 mandatory fields: "Latitude", "Longitude", "AltitudeAGL". The fourth field "Speed" is optional. Please note the header is ignored if it contains letters.
CSV schema with column nsmes (header):
To recognize data column names are used. CSV file can contain any number of columns, but only columns with the following names are used to get data from:
| Column name | Values | Required | Data meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| WP | int | No | The waypoint number in the route.
If not specified then the waypoints are ordered by row number. |
| Latitude | double | Yes | The latitude of the waypoint. |
| Longitude | double | Yes | The longitude of the waypoint. |
| AltitudeAGL | double | Required if AltitudeAMSL not specified | The AGL altitude of the waypoint. |
| AltitudeAMSL | double | Required if AltitudeAGL not specified | The AMSL altitude of the waypoint. |
| Speed | double | No | "Flight speed" attribute value of the waypoint. If not specified then 5 m/s. |
| Picture | false (case insensitive) | No | If true then "Set camera mode" action with option "Shot" is created for the waypoint. |
| UavYaw | double 0.00-360.00 If the value is out of the range then it is automatically converted to the value in the range | No |
Drone Yaw (degrees relative to the north). If specified then the "Change yaw" action with corresponding "Yaw" relative to the north is created for the waypoint. |
| CameraTilt | double 0.00-360.00 If the value is out of the range then it is automatically converted to the value in the range | No | Camera till (degrees). If specified then the "Set camera attitude" action with corresponding "Tilt" is created for the waypoint. |
| WaitTime | double | No | Wait time (seconds). If specified then the "Wait" action with corresponding "Wait duration, s" is created for the waypoint. |
