200 WX Weatherstation
The WeatherStation 200WX is the ideal solution for mobile weather-monitoring applications. It is packed with sensors in a compact and rugged IPX6-rated housing, making it suitable for use on moving platforms such as broadcast vehicles, emergency services, and military equipment. The 200WX accurately calculates dynamic true wind speed and direction by using apparent wind, vehicle speed, and heading. Apparent wind is the wind felt while in motion, such as when holding your hand out of a moving vehicle. The unit includes an internal 10 Hz GPS and a three-axis electronic compass, which provide heading, position, speed-over-ground, and course-over-ground data necessary for precise wind calculations while in motion. The 3D compass uses a three-axis rate gyro for dynamic stabilization, improving turn-rate data and maintaining accurate compass performance even in hilly or mountainous terrain, making it ideal for mission-critical use.
