Note that when you are not using the default GNSS antenna, it is important to use an antenna that is
suitable for the MTi-G-710. See section 7.3.1.3.
5.6 Built-in self-test
All MTi’s feature a built-in self-test (BIT). The self-test actuates the mechanical structures in the MEMS
accelerometer and gyroscope by inducing an electric signal. This allows checking the proper functioning
of the mechanical structures in the MEMS inertial sensors as well as the signal processing circuitry. For
the magnetometer, the self-test checks the integrity of the sensor component.
A passed self-test will result in a valid self-test flag in the status byte. Because the self-test influences
the sensor data, the self-test is only available in Config mode. For more information, refer to [LLCP],

5.7 Test and Calibration parameters
Every MTi is calibrated and tested for calibration residuals that correspond to the specified performance
of the MTi. This way, a device that leaves our facility has the same high quality that can be expected
from Xsens.
The MTi applies calibration parameters internally and each MTi therefore contains individual test and
calibration data in its eMTS (electronic Motion Tracker settings). It is digitally signed by a Test Person
and states the calibration values determined during the calibration of the MTi at Xsens’ calibration
facilities. For reference, the values can be read by connecting the MTi to MT Manager and navigating
to MT Settings – Modeling Parameters and MT Settings – Basic Test Report. It is also supplied as
hardcopy with the MTi. The values are explained here in short:
