Setup Wizard - Provides a step by step 

guide to configuring a MicroPilot autopilot 

for fixed-wing, helicopter or multi-rotor 

style vehicles.

Vibration Analyzer - Provides frequency 

analysis of vibration data from both 

accelerometers and gyros.

Datalog - Powerful post flight analysis

tool.

qHWIL - Quasi hardware in the loop 

simulator allows simulation via serial port.

Status Monitor - Powerful in-flight 

analysis tool that allows you to see the 

inner workings of your MicroPilot 

autopilot in flight. Provides feedback 

loop configuration graphs of autopilot 

information.

Configuration Analyzer - Automatically 

reviews your autopilot configuration for 

conflicting or incorrect settings.

ADC Calibrator - Calibrate extra ADC 

channels for higher precision.

AVL Editor - An easy to use setup utility 

for the open source CFD program AVL. 

Enter your aircraft, use AVL to generate 

its linearized stability derivatives and 

automatically import them into the 

HORIZONmp simulator.
