Drop

The Drop action is primarily designed for the Water Sampling surveys. When added to a separate waypoint, it forces the Water Sampler to open at such a waypoint. However, it can be used with other payloads that operate based on "there is/there is no current".

Note: the Drop action can only be used in combination with the SkyHub on-board computer; therefore, the waypoint altitude mode should be set to "Rangefinder".

The rest of the Drop action parameters should be configured in Custom Payload Monitor and are described in the SkyHub User Manual.
