+ | 1. Download, unzip and install the EVAL-ADIS USB Driver [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2. Download, unzip and copy the IMU_Evaluation*.exe file to the desired location on the test PC [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | =====USB DRIVER INSTALLATION===== | ||
+ | After downloading the EVAL-ADIS USB Driver file, extract the SDPDrivers.exe file from the zip file, into a convenient location and then double click on it to start the process. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | When the setup wizard opens, click on **Next** to start the installation process | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Click on **Next** to accept the default driver location. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The process will involve at least two progress bars that look like the following: | ||

+ | |||
+ | If you encounter this type of message during the process, click on **Install** to continue with the installation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once the installation has completed, click on **Finish** to complete the process. | ||

+ | ==== 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 orange box identifies the drop-down menus, which provide a number of useful features. The **Devices** option provides a list of products. For evaluation of any ADIS1648x product, click on **Devices** and then select the part number (**ADIS16488**, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The **Register Access** option provides a listing of user-configurable registers available from the part number selected in the " | ||
+ | |||
+ | The **Data Capture** option provides the core data collection function. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The **Demos** option only supports a 3-D rendering tool on the [[adi> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The **Tools** option provides some diagnostic tools for the USB interface. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The **About** option provides more detail software revision information. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The purple box identifies the output registers, which update, real-time, after pressing the **Read** button (see the red box for the location of the **Read** button). | ||
+ | |||
+ | The yellow box identifies the three waveform recorder windows. The top window contains the three gyroscope outputs. The middle window contains the three accelerometer responses. The bottom window contains the three magnetometer responses. Also, each waveform matches the color of its register (see register titles in the purple box). | ||
+ | ==== Register Access ==== | ||
+ | The purpose of the **Register Access** window is to provide both read and write access to the user registers in the ADIS1648x products. The following picture shows the appearance of this window. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The color coded boxes illustrate the different functions that this window provides. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The purple box identifies the register category. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The red box identifies all of the registers that are in the current 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. Use the hexadecimal format when writing commands to a particular register. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The **Update Registers in Category** button (orange box) triggers a read and display update of all registers in the current category (red box). | ||
+ | |||
+ | The yellow box identifies the area that provides single-bit command buttons, such as the ones provided by the GLOB_CMD register. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The **Save Reg Settings to File** command saves all of the registers in the current category into a *.csv (common-delimited) file. The **Load Reg Settings from File** button reads those settings back into the software package and triggers a routine that updates all registers with the values from this file. | ||
+ | |||
+ | APPLICATION TIP: The **Register Access** screen writes to user control registers, inside of the ADIS1648x devices, 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 ADIS1648x devices, each command (16-bits) writes to one byte at a time. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Data Capture ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Data Capture function supports synchronous data acquisition, | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The red box identifies all of the registers that are eligible for inclusion in the next acquisition process. Click on each box to include a register in the next data acquisition sequence. The box will have a check mark when it has been selected. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The green box identifies the configuration box for the name and location of the data storage file. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The yellow box identifies a number of configuration options for the data acquisition process. The **Record Length** is a user input for the total number of samples in a data record. Note that all selected registers will have this number of samples in the data record file, after the acquisition process completes. The **Sample Rate** represents the rate that the ADIS1648x updates its output register. This depends on the configuration in the DEC_RATE register. For example, if DEC_RATE = 0x0009, the decimation setting is 10, which would result in an update rate of 246 SPS. After each update to the **Record Length** box, the software calculates the displays the total **Capture Time**. | ||
