Here you can download the latest version of the MT Software Development Kit (SDK). The MT SDK supports the MTx, MTi and MTi-G. The latest firmware version is now included within the MT SDK, available for download at the firmware updater functionality.
New version: MT SDK 3.3 Release date: November 17th, 2010
All customers who want to upgrade to MT SDK 3.x must obtain a new registration number from Xsens (customerservice@xsens.com) for installation.
