3.6.2 Getting Started with the MT Manager
The easiest way to get started with your MTi is to use the MT Manager software for Windows 7, Windows
8 and Windows 10.
This easy to use software with a Windows user interface allows you to:
record data and playback/review data
view orientation, position and velocity in real-time (if available)
view inertial and magnetic sensor data in real time
view low-level communication and XDA communication via message terminals
export log files to ASCII and KMZ
change and view various device settings and properties
reprocess pre-recorded data, e.g. with different settings
The MT Manager is therefore an easy way to get to know and to demonstrate the capabilities of the MTi
and to configure the device easily to suit your needs.
With the MT Manager, it is possible to apply a configuration profile to multiple MTi’s. This allows system
integrators to configure MTi’s correctly with a quick turn-around time.
Please refer to the
MT Manager User Manual
[MTM] for more information on this topic.
