4.1 Sensor reference frames
The MTi 600 -series module uses a right-handed coordinate system as the basis of the sensor frame.
The default sensor coordinate system is printed on the side of the MTi and is shown in Figure 5. More
details regarding (the modification of) the reference frames of the MTi can be found in the
MTi 600-
