This section is intended to help you install and use the MT Manager quickly. First you need to download the MT Software Suite to your computer. The most recent version of the MT Software Suite can be downloaded from our website. Make sure to download the latest MT Software Suite for MTi products.
For users of previous Xsens’ MT software:
Be sure to uninstall the previous version of the USB converter drivers:
Open the Windows Control Panel and go to Add or Remove Programs.
Look for the entry 'Windows Driver Package - Xsens USB-serial Converter Driver Package'. Please uninstall all entries of these drivers.
This installation procedure also tells the procedure to install the entire MT Software Suite. The installation procedure installs several components and starts with the screen as shown below:
The installation procedure is straightforward. On the second screen, you can choose to skip installation of several components (not recommended).
After downloading the MT Software Suite for Linux, unpack the .tar.gz file to your desired installation folder. Inside you will find, among other components, the file mtmanager_linux-x**_version.tar.gz. Unpack this file also to your desired installation folder.
After unpacking, head to ./mtmanager/linux-*/doc/MTM.README to find a list of required packages that need to be installed before you can run MT Manager. Then, go to the ./mtmanager/linux-*/bin directory. In this directory, run the mtmanager executable to start MT Manager (terminal command: ./mtmanager).
Connect a device to your PC using the supplied USB cable. With the USB cable, the device is automatically found.
Upon execution of the MT Manager, it automatically scans the available COM-ports and/or industrial motion tracker USB devices on the PC for connected devices.

MT Manager scanning for attached devices
If you are using an RS-485 sensor, be sure to enable the RS-485 compatibility mode in the General pane via “Tools” -> “Options…”. Without RS-485 compatibility enabled, the RS485 industrial motion tracker device may not be found.
The industrial motion trackers are displayed in the Device List with the respective unique MT device ID number.

Now you are ready to go using your Motion Tracker with the MT Manager.
This section describes how to set up the industrial motion tracker for recording and exporting data.
After the device is connected, it should show in the Device List in the bar on the left.

The first step is to configure the industrial motion tracker. Open the Device Settings window . The Output Configuration settings tab will be shown.
The default output configuration can be found in the Low-Level Communications Protocol Document. The preset drop down bar allows choosing other options. Recording data with the XDA processing preset allows reprocessing the file with any compatible filter profile. It is possible to select individual data IDs, but note that when orientation is selected, the onboard processed orientation is recorded. Files with onboard processed orientation data cannot be reprocessed using a different filter profile.

The Output Configuration window features easy to use presets.
In this step-through, the settings of the industrial motion tracker other than the output configuration will not be changed. It is, however, possible to change filter settings, configure synchronization options or to review the calibration parameters. In the header, it also shows the hardware ID, Firmware Revision and other device information.

File plotting |
Real-time plays data in real-time; All Data (as fast as possible) plots all data at once. Note that you need to increase the Maximum Display time to see all data; All Data (update every 5 sec..) is required when the file is extremely large. |

The Preferences – ASCII Exporter window
Starting from MT Software Suite 2025.5, MT Manager has introduced a new feature that allows users to customize the application’s appearance with selectable color themes. Users can now switch between Light, Dark, and Native (system) modes to match their personal preference or operating system theme. This enhancement improves visual comfort and usability across different lighting environments. The theme setting can be accessed from the Preferences menu under Tools.
