3.1.3 Configuring the MTi 1-series
MT Manager is an excellent tool to configure the MTi 1-series. Click the Output Configuration button:
The following screen appears:
By default, the output of the MTi-2 and MTi-3 is set to orientation only, MTi-1 is set to XDA processing. Click “Inertial
Data” (∆q/∆v or Rate of Turn/Acceleration) and “Magnetic Field” to be able to show this data in MT Manager.
3.1.4 Other functionality of MT Manager
With the MT Manager, it is possible to record data and export that data for use in other programs, configure
synchronization options and to review the test and calibration report.
More information on the functions in MT Manager can be found in the MT Manager User Manual.
3.1.5 Embedded examples
The MTi 1-series is designed for easy integration in embedded systems. To aid in development example code is
provided for the ARM mbed platform. An example implementation of the Xbus Low Level Communication Protocol is
provided as generic C99 compliant source code
1
, while an ARM mbed specific application demonstrates the use of
the Xbus library to communicate with an MTi 1-series development kit using UART communications.
The example code has been tested with the following ARM

compatible boards:
ST Nucleo F302R8 – Cortex M4
FreeScale FRDM-KL46Z – Cortex M0+
NXP EA LPC 4088 – Cortex M4
The example code is available at
http://www.mbed.org/teams/Xsens
. Documentation on how-to-use is provided on the
description page and in the code. Note that these examples are provided as is and are not supported by the Xsens
support team. The examples are licensed under the
Apache Licence version 2.0
.
Several basic commands were used, it is easy to extend the program with commands from the Xsens Low Level
Communication Protocol (LLCP). This protocol is documented in detail in the MT Software Suite and in the Low Level
Communication Protocol Documentation.

Xbus example code is not specific to ARM processors and should be compatible with other embedded architectures.
