ADIS16265 EVALUATION ON THE EVAL-ADIS
OVERVIEW
The ADIS16265 is a fully calibrated, digital gyroscope provides +/-320 degrees/second of measurement range. The standard supply voltage (+5V) and serial peripheral interface (SPI) enable simple integration into most industrial system designs. A simple internal register structure handles all output data and configuration features. This includes access to the following output data: calibrated rotation rate, power supply, internal temperature, auxiliary analog and digital input signals, diagnostic error flags, and programmable alarm conditions.
The electrical connection typically only requires 5 I/O lines for synchronous data collection, as shown in the following figure:
ADIS16265/PCB BREAKOUT BOARD
For those who are on a tight timeline, connecting the ADIS16265 to an embedded controller will provide the most flexibility in developing application firmware and will more closely reflect the final system design. The ADIS16265/PCBZ is the breakout board for the ADIS16265 and may provide assistance in the process of hooking it up to an existing embedded processor system.
EQUIPMENT LIST
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Windows XP, Vista, 7
.NET Framework 3.5
NOTE: Newer versions of the .NET framework do not currently support the IMU Evaluation software package.
PHYSICAL SETUP
The ADIS16265 provides the EVAL-ADIS16265 function on a 1.2 inch × 1.3 inch printed circuit board (PCB), which simplifies the connection to an existing processor system. The four mounting holes accommodate either M2 (2mm) or Type 2-56 machine screws. These boards are made of IS410 material and are 0.063 inches thick. The second level assembly uses a SAC305-compatible solder composition (Pb-free), which has a pre-solder re-flow thickness of approximately 0.005 inches. The pad pattern on the ADIS16265/PCBZ matches that shown in below. J1 and J2 are dual-row, 2 mm (pitch) connectors that work with a number of ribbon cable systems, including 3M Part Number 152212-0100-GB (ribbon-crimp connector) and 3M Part Number 3625/12 (ribbon cable).
NOTE: Do not plug the EVAL-ADIS into the USB cable at this stage of the setup. Wait until the software installation is complete.
Step #1
The connection to the ADIS16265/PCBZ is simple using J1 and a 16 pin cable included with the EVAL-ADIS.
WARNING: Make sure that the connector cable going from J1 on the ADIS16265/PCBZ is properly aligned to the J1 connector on the EVAL-ADIS. The 16 pin cable is included with the EVAL-ADIS and proper mating has the last 4 cable connections open. The Black wire from from J2-12 of the ADIS16265/PCBZ to the DIO1 test point on the EVAL-ADIS is only required for synchronous data.
Step #2
Mounting to the system frame is accomplished using 4 M2x.4x4mm machine screws included with the ADIS16265/PCBZ. The mounting location holes are marked as an example in the picture below. Use the 4 A-location holes to secure the ADIS16265/PCBZ to the EVAL-ADIS.
Step #3
The following picture (left side) shows JP1 in the +3.3V position (factory-default). That is not the correct JP1 jumper setting on the EVAL-ADIS) required for the ADIS16265CCCZand should be moved to the *+5V* position (right side).
NOTE: If JP1 is left on +3.3v position the software will look like the following picture. Move JP1 to the+5V setting to correct the problem.

EVAL-ADIS2 IMU Evaluation Software Overview
The IMU Evaluation Software is a Microsoft Windows (.NET) application that works in conjunction with the EVAL-ADIS2, in order to provide users with a PC-Based interface to most ADIS16xxx products. This platform enables observation of basic sensor functions, read/write access to all user-accessible registers, and full-rate data acquisition, which is synchronous with data production of each ADIS16xxx.
This guide builds upon the EVAL-ADIS2 Hardware User Guide and assumes that you've installed the necessary drivers and software.
Using the EVAL-ADIS2 IMU Evaluation Software
Main Window
Once the IMU Evaluation software loads, you should be presented with a window similar to the image shown below.
The image below has been color-coded to illustrate the different parts of the IMU Evaluation Software. These colored sections will be referred to in the following sections.
The drop-down menus highlighted in orange list additional features and utilities that make up the core functionality of the evaluation software.
- The Devices menu provides a list of supported products. Selecting a product from this list will configure the IMU evaluation software register map. Each device has a unique register map that must be selected to ensure proper sensor operation. The green box shows the active device. In this example, the ADIS16448 is selected.
- The Register Access option calls a sub-menu that lists all user-configurable registers available from the part number selected in the “Devices” drop-down menu. It also provides read/write access to each register.
- The Data Capture option calls a sub-menu designed to enable synchronous data logging from the selected device.
- The Demos option calls a 3-D visualization tool. This feature is only supported for the ADIS16480 and ADIS16448 devices.
- The Tools option calls a sub-menu that displays USB diagnostic information.
- The About option provides more detailed software revision information.
The purple box shows the primary, inertial output registers for the selected device. These values are updated in real-time after pressing the Read button (identified by a red box).
The yellow box shows three waveform recorder windows. Each window allows for plotting the three primary sensor types (gyroscopes, accelerometers, and magnetometers [if supported]). The top subplot displays gyroscope data, the middle plot displays accelerometer data and the bottom plot displays magnetometer data. Each plot color corresponds to the colors displayed in the “Output Registers” window (highlighted in purple).
Register Access
The Register Access window provides read and write access to all user-accessible registers listed in the selected device's datasheet. The image below shows a screenshot of the window.
The color-coded image below is referenced in the following section.
The purple box sorts each set of registers into a standard category. The available categories are:
- Control/Status - General sensor configuration, alarm, and metadata registers
- Output - Inertial sensor output registers
- Calibration - User offset and misc. calibration registers
The calibration register section mentioned above is separate from the factory calibration registers and procedures!
The section highlighted by the red box lists all of the registers in the selected category. Click on the register name to select a register for individual read/write access.
The green box identifies the read/write control options for the current register selection.
Registers must be written in hexadecimal format!
The Update Registers in Category button (shown in an orange box above) automatically reads all of the registers shown in the selected category (red box) and updates their contents in the GUI.
The section highlighted in yellow identifies provides a means of easily calling subroutines within the connected sensor. Clicking on a button is equivalent to writing a single-bit command to the respective register.
The Save Reg Settings to File programmatically reads and saves the contents of all of the registers in the current category into a *.csv (common-delimited) file. The Load Reg Settings from File button reads a target .csv file and attempts to write the saved values back into the sensor.
The Register Access form always writes to both the upper and lower bytes of a given register. When writing to a register, make sure to include the desired 16-bit value in hexadecimal format before clicking the Write Register button.
Data Capture
The Data Capture window only supports synchronous data acquisition and logging to a file on the host PC. Data samples are only read from the sensor when the data ready pin toggles, indicating that data is valid.
The color-coded image below is referenced in the following section.
The section highlighted in red lists all of the registers that are eligible for data capture. Checking the box next to each register indicates that the specified register values should be recorded once the data stream begins.
The section highlighted in green allows for customizing the file name and location of the resultant .csv files.
The section highlighted in yellow identifies the data stream configuration options.
- Record Length - The total number of samples to be captured. A sample is defined as a single “data valid” period as signaled by the data ready pin on the sensor
- Sample Rate - The instantaneous data ready rate as measured by the evaluation board
- Capture Time - The estimated data capture time in DD:HH:MM:SS format calculated based upon the instantaneous sample rate
- Add File Header - Selects whether a header displaying the contents of each column should be appended to the beginning of the .csv file
- Use Scaled Data - Signals to the software to convert the 16-bit values read from the sensor into a sign-adjusted (two's complement) scaled number. For example, when this option is enabled, be in units of degrees/second

IMU EVALUATION SOFTWARE REVISION HISTORY
APPLICATION TIP: The Register Access screen writes to user control registers, inside of the ADIS16265, two bytes at a time. So, when configuring a register, make sure to include the hexadecimal number for all 16-bits, before pressing the Write Register button. When using an embedded processor to write to user control registers, inside of the ADIS16265, each command (16-bits) writes to one byte at a time.
EXAMPLE EXERCISES
This section currently has no ADIS16265-specific content, but the ADIS16448 Evaluation on the EVAL-ADIS Wiki Site has some good examples to start with.
