-Setting the "DR Active" check box configures the EVAL-ADIS-FX3 to wait for a data ready signal before initiating a SPI transfer. Data captures may be performed without data ready synchronization, but this configuration is not recommended since invalid data may be read from the IMU. The images below show the differences between data captures performed with and without "DR Active" enabled.+Setting the "DR Active" check box configures the [[adi>EVAL-ADIS-FX3|EVAL-ADIS-FX3]] to wait for a data ready signal before initiating a SPI transfer.
