# Rover Settings and Profiles

The rover settings page contains all lidar system acquisition settings. This includes settings pertaining to the navigation system, lidar sensors, and cameras.

Use the rover settings window to configure acquisition settings for lidar, camera, and navigation system settings:

## Profiles

A set of settings are saved as a profile. Profiles are selected from the dropdown menu located at the bottom left of the rover settings menu. All lidar systems come preconfigured with factory profiles, which contain settings suitable for a typical use-case. Factory profiles appear in bold font in the dropdown menu:

Factory profiles cannot be overwritten, so when changes are made to a profile, either in the lidar, camera, or navigation system settings, these changes must be saved as a new profile, via the **Save current configuration as new profile** button:

User-created profiles will be listed in the profile dropdown menu. Since these profiles are not factory profiles, they can be modified and deleted:
