Description

Knowing the theoretical wind speed and direction is significant for numerous applications and is often mission-critical. The 200WX WeatherStation® instrument calculates theoretical wind speed and direction based upon the apparent wind, speed of the vehicle, and vehicle heading. Its internal 10 Hz GPS and three-axis electronic compass provide heading, position, speed-over-ground, and course-over-ground functionality that is necessary for theoretical wind-data processing on a moving vehicle.

The 200WX’s three-axis rate gyro provides its 3D compass with dynamic stabilization, enhancing rate-of-turn data. The performance of the dynamic compass is maintained while traveling in hilly and mountainous terrain.

Being feature rich with a durable, rugged, compact footprint enables the IPX4 or IPX6-rated 200WX to be used on moving platforms, such as agricultural vehicles, road construction and mining equipment, mobile news units, and military vehicles.
