Understand your system with
Wingman™
Wingman is a data acquisition sensor built to ride along on a variety of vehicles and engineered prototypes. Perfect for testing or verification, it is a single sensor that integrates high-g accelerometer, low-g accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, barometer, and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) into one unit.
By centralizing the most commonly used sensors, it reduces the need to worry about multiple sensors being turned on or off each data cycle. Wingman has configurable data rates for each sensor which can be adjusted via the accompanying desktop application. Whether it is for real-world vehicles, packages, or payloads, Wingman is the perfect data collecting companion for your system.
