## What is Skipper NDT?

Admiral is a cross-platform application designed for advanced data acquisition management and sensor configuration.

Available on Windows, macOS, Linux, and iOS, Admiral supports multiple types of acquisition: calibration, delimitation, mapping, and testing.

Easily configure your sensors and their geometry with an intuitive interface and powerful tools.

The integrated license management system allows for key validation, manual deactivation, offline access, and license expiration tracking.

Two update channels are available:

- Stable channel: for production use
- Beta channel: to test new features early (access via special license with PREVIEW entitlement)

Admiral includes comprehensive unit tests, especially for license management, key validation, and remaining days calculation.

Whether you are a developer, engineer, or technician, Admiral helps you configure and ensure the reliability of your measurement systems.
