# General The General settings window allows for configuring settings such as the device file of the temperature sensor as well as the modes for the I/O ports. In most cases, users should not alter any of the parameters in the General section unless instructed to do so by Phoenix LiDAR Systems. ![General rover settings](/files/-MVYHpJVo_ZyIrV12OvI) ## License ![License key](/files/-MVYJcjDE22med983B-L) Every system is configured and associated with a unique alphanumeric key. Editing license keys is disabled by default in Spatial Explorer - if you need assistance with licensing issues, please contact [supprt@phoenixlidar.com](https://desk.zoho.com/portal/phoenixlidarsystems/en/signin) ## AutoStart/AutoScan The AutoStart/AutoScan option will determine how camera or LiDAR sensors are activated. ![](/files/-MVYKqiVc1ooBTy3wJnK) ### System Startup Determines when rover will launch: * Off: rover starts once SpatialExplorer connects * Immediate: rover starts immediately after power up ### Recording Camera / LiDAR data Determines when the sensors (LiDAR/camera) will be activated. * Manual: recording sensor data is controlled manually through SpatialExplorer * Delayed: recording sensor data will start 5 minutes after GNSS reception is established * Once Moving: recording sensor data will start once rover starts moving, then continues until shutdown * Whenever Moving: recording Camera/LiDAR is active as long as rover moves ### Devices and I/O Ports Settings for devices and I/O ports are not user-configurable in Spatial Explorer. Contact for assistance. ![Devices, I/O Ports, and Minimum LiDAR Point Distance](/files/-MVYNpn7DvyRHVmpyGMx) ### Minimum LiDAR Point Distance This is the minimum distance between each displayed point. In most cases, we recommend setting this value to \~0.50 m or to avoid any bandwidth/latency issues on the computer running SpatialExplorer. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
