PRODUCT SUPPORT
The Vibration Evaluation Program supports PC-based evaluation of the following products with the EVAL-ADIS Evaluation System.
| IMU Evaluation/EVAL-ADIS Product Support List |
|---|
| ADIS16000AMLZ/ADIS16229AMLZ |
| ADIS16227/PCBZ |
| ADIS16228/PCBZ |
NOTE: The ADIS16000AMLZ manages wireless communication with the ADIS16229AMLZ.
NOTE: The ADIS16000AMLZ requires an interface board to connect to the EVAL-ADIS evaluation system. This board will be released shortly as the ADIS16COM1/PCBZ.
PC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Windows XP, Vista, 7
.NET Framework 3.5
NOTE: Newer versions of the .NET framework do not currently support the Vibration Evaluation Program.
VIBRATION EVALUATION PROGRAM DOWNLOAD
Vibration Evaluation Software installation only requires two simple step:
1. Download, unzip and install the EVAL-ADIS USB Driver (click here to see the download link)
2. Download, unzip and copy the Vibration*.exe file to the desired location on the test PC (click here to see the download link)
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.
DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE
Download to the Vibration Evaluation Program package from the EVAL-ADIS home page, under SOFTWARE AND TOOLS (Click here to access). Extract the *.exe file from the zip file and copy it to any directory on the PC.
LAUNCH SOFTWARE
Plug the EVAL-ADIS (with ADIS16xxx/PCBZ device installed) and wait for both LED1 and LED2 to illuminate on the EVAL-ADIS. After LED1 and LED2 illuminate, double click on the *.exe file to launch the Vibration Evaluation Program and access the Main Menu.
You might see the appearance of a Window that indicates a search for an SDP device (USB), but this will disappear quickly. If this error message appears, click OK to proceed to the Main Screen.
PROGRAM FEATURES
Device Selection
Click on Device, located on the left hand side of the Menu bar, at the top of the Main Screen, to select the appropriate DUT (Device Under Test). In this example, the ADIS16228 is in use. Note that some of the Menu bar options appear in a lighter gray color, to indicate that they are not associated with a particular device. For example, all of the Network options presently only apply to the ADIS16229 at this time, so they will appear in the lighter gray color when either ADIS16227 or [adi>adsi16228|ADIS16228]] options are in use.
Register Access
The Register Access option on the Menu Bar provides direct read and write access to all of the user-accessible registers in DUT.
Register Access Window Appearance
Here is an example of the Register Access window that illustrates the ADIS16228.
Reading Register Contents
Select a specific register to read the contents.
Writing Data to Registers
Use the following two steps to write a value to the register. 1. Enter the hex code for the register.
2. Click on Write
NOTE: Clicking on Write causes the Vibration Evaluation Program to write to both upper and lower bytes
Single-Command Options
The vibration sensor products often come with registers that support “Global Commands.” While these commands are associated with specific bits, located in user-accessible registers, the right side of the Register Access Window provides access to them through a drop down menu that offers each related register and a series of Write buttons.
Network

Alarms
The Alarm > Alarm Settings option on the Menu Bar provides a more convenient method for configuring the Spectral Alarm functions. This provides a more convenient method for tuning this function, in comparison with the single-register access method associated with Register Access window.
Selecting Alarms > Alarm Settings will cause the following window to open:
Select boxes in the matrix and enter values that are associated with the magnitude of the output data and FFT bin numbers.
Click on Write to DUT to update all registers that are associated with these entries.
Close this window, then go back in. The values will not appear automatically. Click on Read from DUT to make sure the settings are still in place.
The Alarms > Alarm Status Form option provides a convenient monitor for the conditions. The dashes will change to green (no alarm), yellow (“warning” alarm, associated with Level 1) or red (“critical” alarm, associated with Level 2), depending on the conditions, after a data capture event completes.
Data Capture
The Data Capture window provides user inputs for file location, base file name and for resetting the file count.
When this function is active (See the Enable Data Capture checkbox, located in the Main Screen), each trigger will cause the creation of a new file that contains the FFT result and FFT Header information. Notice the increments in the file count, after three clicks on the Start button.
This counter is also in the Data Capture Window
Tools
The Tools option in the Menu Bar offers two options: USB and SPI.
Use the USB option to manually connect or disconnect to the USB port on the EVAL-ADIS.
Use the SPI option to adjust the timing in between the EVAL-ADIS and the DUT. this should not be required for normal operation but the “typical” settings are offered in the following picture:
Demo
Visit the ADIS16229 Vibration Demo Wiki Guide for more details on this function.
About
This option offers the revision and some codes that might be useful when seeking technical support.
Data Collection Mode
The ADIS16227, ADIS16228 and ADIS16229 all have four basic modes of data collection: Manual FFT, Automatic FFT, Manual Time (Time Domain) and Real-Time. Inside of these products, these modes are typically related to the settings in the REC_CTRL1 register. The Main Screen offers a drop-down selection menu for these modes, along with a Start button to begin operation.
Waveform Display
The Waveform Display enables quick access to sensor data.
Enable Data Capture
Checking the box next to Enable Data Capture results in every capture of data being copied into a data file, according to the configuration settings in the Data Capture Window.
