-This is a peak-recording barometric altimeter for precision model
+# Introducing MicroPeak by AltusMetrum #
+
+Micropeak is a barometric logging altimeter for precision model
rocketry altitude measurements.
-![]()
+![]()
+
+Production units are available from the
+[Garbee and Garbee](https://shop.gag.com)
+web store and [Apogee Components](http://www.apogeerockets.com/Electronics_Payloads/Altimeters/MicroPeak_Altimeter)
+
+Data download is available using the [MicroPeak USB adapter](../MicroPeakUSB).
+
+## Documentation ##
+
+The MicroPeak manual is available in
+[html](../AltOS/doc/micropeak.html) and
+[pdf](../AltOS/doc/micropeak.pdf) formats.
+
+## Software ##
+
+The MicroPeak application runs on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. It
+communicates with the [MicroPeak USB adapter](../MicroPeakUSB) to download and analyze
+flight data. It's written in [Java](http://java.com) and offers the
+same functionality and interface on all three platforms. It uses the
+FTDI USB Serial drivers to communicate with the hardware. If you're
+running Mac OS X or Windows, a compatible version of those drivers is
+included with the software. You can also install a different from from
+the [FTDI Driver](http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm) page.
+
+MicroPeak is part of the larger [AltOS](/AltOS) suite of software, which also
+includes a dedicated [TeleGPS](/TeleGPS) application.
-Production units will be available from the
-[Garbee and Garbee](http://auric.gag.com) web
-store.
