Calibrated data


The MTi-2 is a self-contained vertical reference unit (VRU) featuring sensors that provide calibrated data on the rate of turn, the acceleration, and the magnetic field – all in 3D.

Sensor fusion algorithms

Sensor fusion algorithm

A sensor fusion algorithm computes 3D orientation data based on a gravity reference frame: drift-free roll, pitch, and accurate, unreferenced yaw.

smallest-grade-form-factor

Smallest industrial grade form factor

As part of the MTi 1-series, it is among the smallest of its kind available, with each module measuring only 12.1 × 12.1 mm and weighing <1 g.

A huge upgrade for a minimal in-house investment

Comprehensive, all-in-one solution

Suitable for a wide range of (embedded) applications, the MTi-2 is part of the MTi 1-series. It’s a comprehensive, all-in-one solution that eliminates the need for you to design your own system and incorporate separate gyroscopes, accelerometers and other sensors.

Magnetic Field Mapper (MFM) is a calibration tool for conducting magnetic calibration, available as GUI for Windows and as SDK.

Keeping a boat still onmoving water

A crucial role in this platform is played by an MTi-2 motion tracker from Xsens, providing real-time measurements of roll and pitch to enable the HamiltonJet system to fix the position of a vessel on the water.
