===== 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.

<note important>This guide builds upon the [[:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:evaluation-systems:eval-adis2-hardware-guide|EVAL-ADIS2 Hardware User Guide]] and assumes that you've installed the necessary drivers and software.</note> 

===== 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.

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:448-imueval-softguide-01.png?nolink&800|}}

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.

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:448-imueval-softguide-02.png?nolink&800|}}

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 [[adi>ADIS16448|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 [[adi>ADIS16480|ADIS16480]] and [[adi>ADIS16448|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. 

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:adis1648x-imu-eval-registeraccess-01.png?800|}}

The color-coded image below is referenced in the following section. 

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:adis1648x-imu-eval-registeraccess-02.png?800|}}

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

<note important>The calibration register section mentioned above **is separate from the factory calibration registers and procedures!**</note>

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. 

<note important>Registers must be written in hexadecimal format!</note>

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. 

<note important>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.</note>

==== 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. 

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:adis1648x-imu-eval-datacapture-01.png?500|}}

The color-coded image below is referenced in the following section. 

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:adis1648x-imu-eval-datacapture-02.png?500|}}

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
