The [[http://www.analog.com/en/evaluation/EVAL-ADIS/eb.html#SOFTWARE_AND_TOOLS|Vibration Evaluation Program]] supports PC-based evaluation of the following products with the [[adi>EVAL-ADIS|EVAL-ADIS]] Evaluation System.  

^IMU Evaluation/EVAL-ADIS Product Support List  ^
|[[adi>ADIS16000|ADIS16000AMLZ]]/[[adi>ADIS16229|ADIS16229AMLZ]] |
|[[adi>ADIS16227|ADIS16227/PCBZ]] |
|[[adi>ADIS16228|ADIS16228/PCBZ]] |
| |

NOTE: The [[adi>ADIS16000|ADIS16000AMLZ]] manages wireless communication with the [[adi>ADIS16229|ADIS16229AMLZ]]. 

NOTE: The [[adi>ADIS16000|ADIS16000AMLZ]] requires an interface board to connect to the [[adi>eval-adis|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 [[/resources/eval/user-guides/inertial-mems/imu/vibrationevaluationprogram|Vibration Evaluation Program]].

=====VIBRATION EVALUATION PROGRAM DOWNLOAD=====

[[http://www.analog.com/en/evaluation/EVAL-ADIS/eb.html#SOFTWARE_AND_TOOLS|Vibration Evaluation Software]] installation only requires two simple step:

Once the installation has completed, click on **Finish** to complete the process. 

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:USBDriver-Install-004.png?500|}}

=====DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE=====
Download to the **Vibration Evaluation Program** package from the [[adi>EVAL-ADIS|EVAL-ADIS]] home page, under SOFTWARE AND TOOLS ([[adi>en/evaluation/EVAL-ADIS/eb.html#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**.

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:227-select-device.png?400|}}

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:227-main.png?600|}}

=====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 [[adi>adis16228|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 [[adi>adis16299|ADIS16229]] at this time, so they will appear in the lighter gray color when either [[adi>adsi16227|ADIS16227]] or [[adi>adsi16228|ADIS16228]] options are in use.  

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:227-main-device.png?600|}}

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:228-main-select.png?600|}}

====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. 

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:228-reg-sel.png?600|}}

===Register Access Window Appearance===

Here is an example of the **Register Access** window that illustrates the [[adi>adsi16228|ADIS16228]].

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:vep_wiki_registeraccesswindow_01.png?600|}}

===Reading Register Contents===

Select a specific register to read the contents.

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:vep_wiki_registeraccesswindow_regselect_01.png?600|}}

===Writing Data to Registers===

Use the following two steps to write a value to the register.
1. Enter the hex code for the register. 

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:vep_wiki_registeraccesswindow_regselect_02.png?600|}}

2. Click on **Write**

NOTE: Clicking on **Write** causes the Vibration Evaluation Program to write to both upper and lower bytes

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:vep_wiki_registeraccesswindow_regselect_03.png?600|}}




===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. 

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:vep_wiki_registeraccesswindow_singlecommand_01.png?600|}}


{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:vep_wiki_registeraccesswindow_singlecommand_02.png?600|}}





====Network====

Coming soon.....
====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. 

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:227-alrm.png?600|}}

Selecting **Alarms > Alarm Settings** will cause the following window to open:

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:vep_wiki_alarms_settings_01.png?600|}}

Select boxes in the matrix and enter values that are associated with the magnitude of the output data and FFT bin numbers. 

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:vep_wiki_alarms_settings_02.png?600|}}

Click on **Write to DUT** to update all registers that are associated with these entries.

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:vep_wiki_alarms_settings_03.png?600|}}

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.

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:vep_wiki_alarms_settings_04.png?600|}}

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. 

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:vep_wiki_alarms_statusform_01.png?400|}}

====Data Capture====
The **Data Capture** window provides user inputs for file location, base file name and for resetting the file count.  

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:vep_datacapturewindow_01.png?500|}}

When this function is active (See the [[/resources/eval/user-guides/inertial-mems/imu/vibrationevaluationprogram#enable_data_capture|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. 

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:227-main-datalog-file.png?600|}}

This counter is also in the **Data Capture Window**

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:vep_datacapturewindow_02.png?500|}}
====Tools====
The **Tools** option in the **Menu Bar** offers two options: **USB** and **SPI**. 

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:227-tools-menu.png?600|}}

Use the **USB** option to manually connect or disconnect to the USB port on the [[adi>eval-adis|EVAL-ADIS]]. 

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:vep_wiki_tools_usb_01.png?400|}}

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:vep_wiki_tools_usb_02.png?400|}}

Use the **SPI** option to adjust the timing in between the [[adi>EVAL-ADIS|EVAL-ADIS]] and the DUT. this should not be required for normal operation but the "typical" settings are offered in the following picture: 

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:227-spi-utilities.png?400|}}










====Demo====

Visit the [[resources/eval/user-guides/inertial-mems/imu/vibrationdemo|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. 

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:227-version-1-2.png?400|}}

====Data Collection Mode====
The [[adi>adsi16227|ADIS16227]], [[adi>adsi16228|ADIS16228]] and [[adi>adsi16229|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.   

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:vep_wiki_mainscreen_modeselection_01b.png?600|}}

====Waveform Display====
The **Waveform Display** enables quick access to sensor data.

{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:imu:227-wavfrms.png?600|}}  


====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**.
