    After calibration, the measurement will be accurate. Methods: Step 1. Keep the module horizontally stationary Step 2. Click the accelerometer calibration Step 3. Click the “Start calibration”and wait for 3 seconds WT61P | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 15 -...
  • Page 16 0, 0,1, the X and Y axis Angle is around 0°. After calibration, the x-y axis Angle is accurate. Note: When putting the module horizontal, there is 1g of gravitational acceleration on the Z-axis. WT61P | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 16 -...
  • Page 17: Gyroscope Automatic Calibration

    The gyroscope calibration is to calibrate the angular velocity, and the sensor will calibrate automatically. It is recommended that the automatic calibration of gyroscopes can be inactivated only if the module rotates at a constant speed. WT61P | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 17 -...

  • Page 19: Configuration

    Taking WT61P 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 20: Output Rate

    To put it simply, if the return rate is high, the baud rate should also be set higher, generally 115200. WT61P | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 20 -...
  • Page 21: 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. WT61P | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 21 -...

  • Page 28: 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. WT61P | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 28 -...
  • Page 29 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. WT61P | manual v0707 | http://wiki.wit-motion.com/english - 29 -...
  • Page 30: Restore Factory Setting

    Restore Factory Setting Operation method: Connect the WT61P to the computer through the USB to serial port module, click the configuration option, open the configuration bar, and click "Reset". After restoring the factory settings, power on the module again. (This method needs to know the baud rate of the module in advance, if the baud rate does not match the instruction will not take effect.)
