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.
Recommended Habits
- Before writing to any partition, use Partition R/W to export a backup of the original partition.
- During device operations, don't unplug the cable and don't cut power to the device.
- After a write-type operation, restart the device and re-test as described in the relevant feature page.
