WENSS - Würth Elektronik Navigation Satellite Software

The Würth Elektronik Navigation and Satellite Software, WENSS for short, is a simple PC tool to interact with the EV-Boards of the Würth Elektronik eiSos positioning modules using the UART interface. It allows:

Taking into operation of the EV-board
Bidirectional communication with the GNSS module
Evaluation of module capabilities and features
Getting familiar with module protocols, sentences and commands
Configuration of the module without knowledge of the protocols
Parsing of sentences and commands
Experienced users have the opportunity to use WENSS for more advanced configurations.
Therefore it allows an easy evaluation of positioning application.

GNSS

GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is a system, which provides positioning and time synchronizationcapabilities to an unlimited number of users worldwide. The system is based on signals from the following four satellite constellations.
Signals from the different constellations can coexist on the same frequency bands. Each GNSS providesdifferent signals and services over these frequency bands with different access policies. For example, opensignals on the L1 frequency band are mostly used for civil commercial applications.
