EVAL-ADIS2 Evaluation System Hardware User Guide
The EVAL-ADIS2 has been superseded by the EVAL-ADIS-FX3 and is no longer supported.
The EVAL-ADIS2 is a PC-based evaluation system that supports communication with most ADIS16xxx products, using the “breakout board” evaluation tools for each product. The following diagram illustrates the data sensor data flow when using the EVAL-ADIS2.
The following image identifies the key features associated with this evaluation system.

EVAL-ADIS2 Quick-Start Guide
The following guide walks you through setting up and using the EVAL-ADIS2 evaluation kit.
Setting the Sensor Supply Jumper
The jumper labeled JP1 provides three power supply options for evaluating our sensors.
- +3.3V
- +5V
- Ext (External Supply)
Use the table below to identify the correct JP1 setting for your sensor.
External Supply Setting To use the external supply option, remove the header from JP1 and solder the middle post to the hole with the EXT label on the EVAL-ADIS2.
After soldering the connector, apply the external supply to J3 as shown below.
Connecting a Sensor Breakout Board
All sensor modules require a breakout board to interface with the EVAL-ADIS2.
Model-specific breakout boards will only support products that require solder reflow attachment. Generic breakout boards support products that feature an onboard connector and must be purchased in addition to the sensor module.
The following table provides a summary of supported, model-specific breakout boards.
The following table provides a summary of supported, generic breakout boards.
| GENERIC BREAKOUT BOARDS |
|---|
| ADIS16IMU1/PCBZ |
| ADIS16IMU2/PCBZ |
| ADIS16IMU4/PCBZ |
| ADIS16ACL1/PCBZ |
| ADIS16ACL2/PCBZ |
| ADIS1644X/FLEX |
The J1 connector on the EVAL-ADIS2 supports a remote connection to compatible breakout boards using either of the included IDC cables.
The mating connector on the following evaluation boards was designed for a legacy connector solution, but remains compatible with the EVAL-ADIS2.
| LEGACY EVALUATION BOARDS |
|---|
| ADIS16201/PCBZ |
| ADIS16203/PCBZ |
| ADIS16209/PCBZ |
| ADIS16260/PCBZ |
| ADIS16265/PCBZ |
| ADIS16266/PCBZ |
Pins 13, 14, 15, and 16 on the IDC ribbon cable will remain connected, as shown in the image below.
Installing the EVAL-ADIS2 USB Driver
Click here to download the latest USB driver for the EVAL-ADIS2.
This application requires Microsoft .NET 3.5 to be installed and enabled on the host PCs running Windows 10. Additional information on enabling .NET 3.5 can be found here.
After downloading the EVAL-ADIS USB Driver file, extract the SDPDrivers.exe file from the zip archive to a convenient location on your PC. Double click on the extracted file 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 been completed, click on Finish to complete the process.
Downloading the EVAL-ADIS2 Evaluation Software
Use the table below to find and download the appropriate software for your specific sensor.
Connecting the EVAL-ADIS2 to the Host PC
Connect the EVAL-ADIS2 to any USB 2.0 port on your PC using the included Mini USB cable. LED2 should illuminate, indicating that the board is being powered using the PC USB port. LED1 will only illuminate once the SDP Drivers have been installed and the board has successfully enumerated in Windows.
LED1 may take up to 10 seconds to illuminate.The images below show the different boot states of the EVAL-ADIS2.
| Before Plugging Cable In | LED2 = Power OK | LED1 = USB Connection Established |
|---|---|---|
