H5000 Hercules Central Processor Unit (CPU)
B&G’s H5000 instrument and autopilot system delivers sailing-specific features and powerful race-proven technology with an ultra-fast CPU, convenient web-style interface access, full color and 7-segment displays and a dedicated autopilot controller. The system is powered by a smart Central Processor Unit (CPU) which runs three levels of software, Hydra, Hercules and Performance to match your sailing requirements.
The H5000 CPU with Hercules software is geared for success on the race course. Hercules builds on the Hydra level and adds race-focused features including Polar Tables for performance targets and 3D Motion correction support for the ultimate in wind data accuracy.
On top of the benefits of provided by Hydra, Hercules adds a whole tier of race functionality with the advantages of more accurate data and more race specific features, alongside web-browser integration for ease of setup. By adding optional sensors, you can benefit from 3D Motion wind correction, offsetting the unavoidable discrepancy of induced wind errors caused by boat motion, for more accurate results. An integrated Polar table provides target boat speed, target wind angles and performance monitoring for a real racing advantage.
