Page 20: Configuration
Taking WT901C as an example, the default output of the module is acceleration, angular velocity, angle, and magnetic field. Notice: If choosing the GPS Original, there will be no other data output. -
Page 21: Output Rate
To put it simply, if the return rate is high, the baud rate should also be set higher, generally 115200. WT901C RS232| manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 21 -... -
Page 22: Baud Rate
Note: After the change, the module will no longer output data at the original baud rate. The data will be output only when the baud rate that has been changed is selected on the PC software again. WT901C RS232| manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 22 -... -

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. WT901C RS232| 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. WT901C RS232| manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 30 -...

Page 32: 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 WT901C 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. -
