The MTi is a miniature, gyro-enhanced Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS). Its internal low-power signal processor provides drift-free 3D orientation as well as calibrated 3D acceleration, 3D rate of turn and 3D earth-magnetic field data.

The MTi is an excellent measurement unit (IMU) for stabilization and control of cameras, robots, vehicles and other (un)manned equipment.

The standard MTi version contains accelerometers with a full scale of 5g and gyroscopes with a full scale of 300° /s. Optional are accelerometers with a full scale of 18g, and gyroscopes with a full scale of 150° /s and 1200° /s (for more information view "specs" section).

A number of pre-set user scenarios are available optimizing the Extended Filter routine for different applications. These pre-set user scenarios replace the manual filter settings used in previous versions of the Xsens sensor fusion algorithm. based on the chosen scenario the sensor fusion algorithm will apply filter settings recommended for the application.
