Calibration Software

Static Heading Calibration

This software package allows heading calibration for Watson gyro sensors that provide a heading output. This program calibrates the heading of a Watson sensor by taking four readings. To use this software, you must have a magnetometer-equipped gyro sensor. You must also be able to accurately point the installation platform to headings and hold position there to take data.

Moving Heading Calibration

This software is designed to be used with Watson sensors on moving platforms that can not point to a heading and hold position. Once again, your heading gyro package must be equipped with a magnetometer to use this software. The calibration procedure for this software involves turning the vehicle/platform in a circle.

Watson Display Software

The Watson Display software package is designed to provide data processing and display for virtually all Watson Industries gyro products with digital RS-232 output. This program features processed data output whether the unit is in binary or decimal mode, a data terminal window, limited graphing with screen capture capability, data logging, data playback, attitude and heading reference display (for units with the proper outputs), and a turn and slip gauge (given proper output from the unit). This application also has the ability to retrieve the EEPROM Map from a Watson unit automatically, and can also automatically update or restore the unit's map with one provided by the factory.

This software package is still being tested here at Watson, but we would like to offer our customers the chance to take advantage of all the new features. We would like to receive some feedback from our customers on additional features that are necessary as well as compatibility or operational issues that may arise.
