Data Safety ​

Know whether each feature changes your device or files, so you can use them with confidence.

Three Types of Operations ​

Read-only (changes nothing)

  • Camera SN Verification, Vision/TOF SN Verification: only read the serial numbers recorded on the device.
  • Link Test: only performs a communication check.

Generates new files (never touches the originals)

  • Camera Calibration, Vision Calibration, TOF Depth Sensor Calibration: analyze the image file you provide and generate a new file in the output folder you choose. The original image is never modified, and you can redo it at any time.
  • These features refuse to generate when the image does not meet the requirements, instead of guessing — better not to generate at all than to generate an uncertain result.

Writes to the device (changes the device or disk)

  • IMU Calibration, Gimbal Calibration, calibration package writing, Frequency Pairing, ESC Repair, Obstacle Recovery: send calibration or repair commands to the device.
  • Partition R/W: can write files to a data partition on an external USB storage device.

Partition R/W Protection ​

  • Only one data partition can be written at a time; the whole disk and the partition table itself are always read-only.
  • Before writing, a snapshot of the partition information is saved; after writing, the software automatically reads back and verifies that the content matches.
  • The software refuses to write to the system disk; this is only an aid — always confirm the target device yourself before writing.
  1. Before writing to any partition, use Partition R/W to export a backup of the original partition.
  2. During device operations, don't unplug the cable and don't cut power to the device.
  3. After a write-type operation, restart the device and re-test as described in the relevant feature page.
