-===== IMU EVALUATION SOFTWARE INSTALLATION ====+====IMU EVALUATION SOFTWARE OVERVIEW====
-[[adi>static/imported-files/eval_boards/IMU-Evaluation-EVAL-ADIS.zip|Click here to download the IMU Evaluation software]] to a personal computer, which enables PC-based evaluation of all ADIS1648x products on an [[adi>EVAL-ADIS|EVAL-ADIS]] evaluation system.  The download file will contain three separate files: The USB driver (SDPDrivers.exe), the application file (IMUEvaluation.exe) and the revision table. Copy these files to a convenient folder for running the application from. +

 ====USB Driver Installation==== ====USB Driver Installation====
-The SDPDrivers.exe file contains USB drivers that are compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows systems. Double-click on the SDPDrivers.exe file and follow the prompts to install the USB driver files onto the PC. When the following window appears, click on **Next** and then click on **Install** to continue with the installation.

-===== IMU EVALUATION SOFTWARE GUIDE ===== 
-After the USB driver installation is complete, connect the [[adi>EVAL-ADIS|EVAL-ADIS]] USB connector to the PC, using the USB Mini cable, from the [[adi>EVAL-ADIS|EVAL-ADIS]] kit. LED2 will illuminate as soon as this connection is made. This indicates that the [[adi>EVAL-ADIS|EVAL-ADIS]] has power and is going through its start-up/initialization process.  After the [[adi>EVAL-ADIS|EVAL-ADIS]] completes its this process, LED1 will illuminate, indicating that it is time to launch the IMU Evaluation application.  During the initialization process, several messages may appear on the screen. They are related to updating the EVAL-ADIS firmware and establishing communication between the PC and the [[adi>EVAL-ADIS|EVAL-ADIS]]. Once LED1 lights up, double click on the IMU_Evaluation.exe file to launch the application. 
- 
-==== Main Window ==== 
-Once the IMU Evaluation software starts-up, the Main Window will appear and look like the following picture. The second picture provides color-coded boxes to support further discussion of each function in this screen.

- 
-The drop-down menus (Top Row)provide a number of useful features. The **Devices** option provides a list of products. For evaluation of the [[adi>ADIS16266|ADIS16266]], click on **Devices** and then select the part number (**ADIS16266**, for example). The following figure shows the appearance of the main screen, after selecting the [[adi>ADIS16266|ADIS16266]] as the current selection. 
- 
-{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:gyroscopes:16266-imu-eval-mainscreen-01.png?600|}} 
- 
-The **Register Access** option provides a listing of user-configurable registers available from the part number selected in the "Devices" drop down menu. It also provides read/write access to each one of these registers. 
- 
-The **Data Capture** option provides the core data collection function. 
- 
-The **Demos** option only supports a 3-D rendering tool on the [[adi>ADIS16480|ADIS16480]]. 
- 
-The **Tools** option provides some diagnostic tools for the USB interface. 
- 
-The **About** option provides more detail software revision information. 
- 
-Click on **Run** to start the waveform recorder response. While holding the [[adi>EVAL-ADIS|EVAL-ADIS]]/[[adi>ADIS16266|ADIS16266]] in hand, swing it back and forth, while observing the response.

-Right click on the waveform recorder to change the range settings on the waveform recorder. +====IMU EVALUATION SOFTWARE GETTING STARTED====

-==== Register Access ==== 
-The purpose of the **Register Access** window is to provide both read and write access to the user registers in the [[adi>ADIS16266|ADIS16266]]. The following picture shows the appearance of this window. 
  
-{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:gyroscopes:16266-imu-eval-regaccess-01.png?600|}}+====IMU EVALUATION SOFTWARE REVISION HISTORY====
  
-Access a register's values by clicking on it.  For write-enabled registers, such as SMPL_PRD, enter a new value (hexadecimal format) and then click on **Write** to write the value into the register. See the following figure for an example:+{{page> resources/eval/user-guides/inertial-mems/imu/imu-evaluation-software#software_revision_history&nofooter&noheader}}
  
-{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:gyroscopes:16266-imu-eval-regaccess-02.png?600|}} 
  
-APPLICATION TIP: The **Register Access** screen writes to user control registers, inside of the [[adi>ADIS16266|ADIS16266]], 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 [[adi>ADIS16266|ADIS16266]], each command (16-bits) writes to one byte at a time. 
  
-Also take note of the **Select a Category** drop-down selector. This provides access to different functional groups of user-accessible registers.  
  
-==== Data Capture ==== 
  
-The Data Capture function supports synchronous data acquisition, based on the data-ready signal from the [[adi>ADIS16266|ADIS16266]].  The following picture represents the Data Capture window, right after opening it from the **Main Window** and the second picture provides color-coded boxes, in order to support further discussion of each function that is associated with this screen. 
  
-{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:gyroscopes:16266-imu-eval-datacapture-01.png?400|}} 
  
-Select the registers, number of samples and the destination file to configure the software for a particular data capture process. Once the configuration is complete, click on **START** to start the capture process.  An horizontal status bar will appear and provide progress in terms of "percentage complete."  Click on **STOP** to interrupt the data acquisition process.  Note that the datalog file will contain all data, prior to interruption.
