Introduction
The B&G Wave Technology Processor (WTP) in combination with the B&G Deckman software and B&G displays
creates the world’s leading yacht instrument system for Grand Prix racing and Superyachts. Central to this high
performance is the WTP, a powerful processor running an embedded linux operating system that runs hundreds
of times faster than standard instrument systems.
The WTP3 brings new architecture with a central CPU linked to distributed data collection networks, operating
on three independent CAN channels. Using this technology increases the possibilities for data collection.
WTP3 has evolved from the previous WTP processors which are used by Volvo winners, Jules Verne record
holders and top inshore racers. With key input from a wide range of professional racing teams the new WTP3
along with B&G’s range of displays, sensors and software is the ultimate Grand Prix instrument system.
Data is processed in the CPU, which outputs display data, transmits serial and digital data that is output via
modules, communicates with Deckman and FTP clients via LAN and operates an on-board data logger for post-
sail data analysis. Powered by a single 12 Volt power supply this new system is smaller, lighter, faster and even
more exible than its predecessors giving unrivalled condence in the data it provides.
Controlled via a PC running Deckman software, the data can be viewed via any B&G display.
B&G understand the requirements of the professional racer and our instruments have been on board all winning
boats in the Volvo Ocean Race, TP52 MedCup and America’s Cup, along with setting records around the globe.
