WINTAX4 PRO
Data acquisition and analysis
Telemetry Level

Description
W INTAX4 PRO is a complete suite of data analysis tools
developed for the most advanced levels of motorsport.
In addition to the full range of powerful analysis functions
and display methods, W INTAX4 PRO is designed for a
multi-user environment where data is shared and
distributed over the trackside network.
When combined with Magneti Marelli’s ground-breaking
Telemetry System, W INTAX4 PRO provides highly
advanced real time analysis functions as well a standard
interface to team’s proprietary software applications.
Offering data protection, add-on modules and dedicated Benefits
