Description

The MTx is a small, accurate 3DOF orientation tracker. It provides drift-free 3-D orientation as well as kinematic data: 3-D acceleration, 3-D rate of turn (rate gyro), and 3-D earth-magnetic field. The MTx is an excellent measurement unit for orientation measurement of human body segments and other applications requiring a very low profile and lightweight sensor units. The small size and low weight (35 g) of the MTx makes it well-suited for a broad range of applications ranging from capturing human motion for training and simulation, ambulant biomechanical studies, animation, or as an input device for VR/AR. The MTx can be delivered with different options. Users can choose their own interface (RS-232, RS-485), full-scale acceleration (1.7 g, 5 g, 10 g), and full-scale rate of turn (150 deg/s, 300 deg/s, 1200 deg/s). The MTx is available in a stand-alone version as well as an Xbus version. On the Xbus (digital data bus), multiple MTxs can easily be used simultaneously, enabling ambulatory and cost-effective measurement of human body motion.

The MTi is a miniature, gyro-enhanced Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS). Its internal low-power signal processor provides drift-free 3-D orientation, as well as calibrated 3-D acceleration, 3-D rate of turn (rate gyro), and 3-D earth-magnetic field data. The MTi is a lightweight (50 g) measurement unit for the stabilization and control of cameras, robots, vehicles, and other equipment. The MTi uses 3 rate gyros to track rapidly changing orientations in 3-D, and it measures the directions of gravity and magnetic north to provide a stable point of reference. The system's real-time algorithm fuses the sensor information to calculate accurate 3-D orientation, with a highly dynamic response and stability over time. The MTi can be delivered with different options. Users can choose their own interface (RS-232, RS-485, RS-422), full-scale acceleration (1.7 g, 5 g, 10 g), and full-scale rate of turn (150 deg/s, 300 deg/s, 1200 deg/s).

With the MT SDK (software development kit), you can integrate the MTx and MTi in any system or (OEM) application. The MT SDK provides a COM interface that is easily accessed in MATLAB (version 6.5 and higher), making real-time data access simple. Sample MATLAB code is included that demonstrate how to access the MTx/MTi COM interface and how to use the motion tracker.
