See [connect to rover](/spatialexplorer-8-and-9/user-interface/toolbars/rover/connect-to-rover.md) for more information. {% endhint %} The Sensors window allows the user to enable/disable sensors:
Sensors can be set to the following statuses: * **OFF** - no data is recorded or displayed * **SLT** - data is recorded, but real-time points are not displayed. With cameras that support real-time previews (A6K-lite), real-time previews will **NOT** be displayed. * **ACT** - data is recorded and real-time points are displayed. With cameras that support real-time previews (A6K-lite), real-time previews will be displayed. {% hint style="info" %} While **SLT** mode does not display recorded data in real-time, it's still possible to ensure that sensors are recording data by monitoring the [statistics](/spatialexplorer-8-and-9/user-interface/windows/system-monitor.md#statistics) window, which displays the number of packets received from the sensor. {% endhint %}
