Xsens MT plug-in

Reference: Input Devices

Xsens MT plug-in

This plug-in provides support for the Xsens MT tracking device. The Xsens MT only supports rotation data.

Initialization

The Xsens plug-in is implemented as a Vizard extension. The Xsens extension object has the following methods:

Method	Description
<xsens>.addMT(port=0,baudRate=0)	Returns Xsens MT sensor at specified port and baudRate. If port is 0, then the plug-in will search for the next available device. If baudRate is 0, then the device baud rate will be automatically determined.

NOTE: When connecting to a Xbus device, you need to call xsens.addMT() for each sensor connected to the device.

Example

The following example shows how to connect to the first available Xsens MT device:

#Create xsens extenstion
xsens = viz.add('xsens.dle')

#Connect to first available Xsens MT device
sensor = xsens.addMT()

The following example shows how to connect to a Xbus device with 3 sensors on COM 4:

#Create xsens extenstion
xsens = viz.add('xsens.dle')

#Connect to 3 sensors on Xbus
sensor1 = xsens.addMT(port=4)
sensor2 = xsens.addMT(port=4)
sensor3 = xsens.addMT(port=4)
