How to check the telemetry performance of a drone (basic)

How to check ( only very basic / high level ) the telemetry performance based on meta-data:

1. Visit our fleet-analytics page and click on the top-left drop-down menu to select number 8 ( Telemetry / RC )
2. Select the plane-ID and select to ONLY view this plane --> You will see a bar-diagram telling you how many telemetry-data-packets arrived successfully in a certain range from home
3. Analysis specific drone: Check the bar diagram and assess the drone's average performance in a certain range
4. This you need to compare to the fleet average ( of the same hardware ). Therefore remove the plane ID filter and select select a hardware filter. For a 868/900 telemetry select V2. For a 2.4 GHz telemetry select V3.
5. Analysis fleet average: Check the bar diagram and assess the hardware version's average performance in a certain range
6. A little more advanced: Do the same for the RC ( right next to the telemetry bar diagram ) to see if they are doing something wrong or conditions are challenging ( If RC AND Telemetry are bad the user does something wrong or conditions are very suboptimal. If only telemetry is bad - it might be a malfunction ) ( DISCLAIMER/ATTENTION: Step 6/7 only works when the RC was used. Adjusting the date-range to the time of concern helps. This analysis is only enough for a first or second reply to the customer. For major reactions like "wings swap, warranty cases etc. a log-analysis is needed )

Now in a picture:

There are a lot of additional tricks and tips and things to be considered. But this is the very rough and basic first step of evaluating a drones telemetry performance.

The next step would be to connect to get the logs.

1. Then connect to the office via VPN and then go to: http://192.168.32.3:1234
2. Then upload the logs of concern
3. Then simulate the mission and check out the landscape / infrastructure close to their flown mission.
