The Xsens MTi-3 module is used within the SeaTrac beacons to provide very accurate and stable attitude reference. The Xsens module measures not only magnetic heading but combines both pitch and roll angles to provide the user with a very precise attitude report of their subsea asset. The MTi-3 module replaces an existing bespoke AHRS solution and has been fully integrated into both the embedded software and Windows configuration software.

"The integration of the Xsens module into SeaTrac was very straightforward. The performance and reliability of the MTi-3 module brings an enhanced level of confidence to the SeaTrac platform. Support from the Xsens team during the integration phase was excellent, helping to get the system up and running quickly and very smoothly."
