| After the USB driver installation is complete, connect the [[adi>EVAL-ADIS|EVAL-ADIS]] USB connector to the PC, using the USB Mini cable, from the [[adi>EVAL-ADIS|EVAL-ADIS]] kit. LED2 will illuminate as soon as this connection is made. This indicates that the [[adi>EVAL-ADIS|EVAL-ADIS]] has power and is going through its start-up/initialization process. After the [[adi>EVAL-ADIS|EVAL-ADIS]] completes its this process, LED1 will illuminate, indicating that it is time to launch the IMU Evaluation application. During the initialization process, several messages may appear on the screen. They are related to updating the EVAL-ADIS firmware and establishing communication between the PC and the [[adi>EVAL-ADIS|EVAL-ADIS]]. Once LED1 lights up, double click on the IMU_Evaluation.exe file to launch the application. | After the USB driver installation is complete, connect the [[adi>EVAL-ADIS|EVAL-ADIS]] USB connector to the PC, using the USB Mini cable, from the [[adi>EVAL-ADIS|EVAL-ADIS]] kit.

| 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 acuistion 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**. The **Add Header** option allows the user to add or remove the header in the data storage file. The **Use Scaled Data** causes the software to convert the decimal, twos omplement number into its representative value. For example, when enabling **Use Scaled Data,** the gyroscope outputs will be in units of degrees/second. | The yellow box identifies a number of configuration options for the data acquisition process.
