  • Page 29: Bandwidth

    1. The higher rate of bandwidth setting will lead to the higher fluctuation in data waveform. Conversely, the lower rate of bandwidth, data will become more fluent. For example: Bandwidth as 20Hz, Output rate as 10Hz. The waveform is very steady. BWT901 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 29 -...
  • Page 30 For example, if the bandwidth setting is 20Hz, retrieval rate as 100Hz, there will be 5 repeating data. If you prefer there is no repeating data, it is required to increase the bandwidth more than 100Hz. BWT901 | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 30 -...
  • Page 31: 6-Axis/ 9-Axis Algorithm

    9-axis algorithm: Z-axis angle is mainly calculated and analyzed based on the magnetic field. Z-axis angle will have few drift. The default algorithm of BWT901 is 9-axis. If there is magnetic field interference around installed environment, it is recommended to switch to 6-axis algorithm to detect the angle.
