This rapidly deployable, compact, self-contained weather station typically mounts on a mast or tripod on, or near, the GCS and includes an internal flux gate compass to automatically align the wind direction data to North. The system requires extremely low power and can be operated from a wide variety of AC or DC power sources and the product's compact size does not compete for storage or deployment space. The digital output is easily integrated into almost any existing or planned data and display system application. Climatronics offers our WeatherView and AWeather software packages for real-time data display and analysis, with either package able to operate on a laptop or PDA.
