GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADIS/EVAL is a PC-based evaluation system for all of the

SPI-output iSensor™ products. It is designed to work with

each product’s evaluation board and comes with a Parallel

Interface Board, parallel interface cable, 2 12-pin ribbon cables

for evaluation board (ADIS16XXX/PCBZ) attachment, and the

i

Sensor™ CD. The iSensor™ CD contains the iSensor

Evaluation Software, along with all of the documentation for

each iSensor product.

GETTING STARTED

Getting started with this system requires four simple steps.

1.

Connect J2 of the Parallel Interface Board (see Figure 1) to

the appropriate power supply, using Table 1. For simplicity,

Pins 1 and 4 can be tied together and Pins 2 and 3 can be

tied together. Set the voltage on the power supply per

Table 2.

2.

Using Figure 2 as a guide, install the appropriate

ADIS16XXX/PCBZ evaluation board on the Parallel

Interface Board. Four 2mm mounting holes are provided

for secure mechanical attachment and the 2 12-pin ribbon

cables are for the necessary electrical connections. These

cables are already installed on J3 and J4 of the Parallel

Interface Board and need to be connected to J1 and J2 of

the ADIS16XXX/PCBZ. Make sure that these cables are

seated correctly on each header. Misalignment can result

in damage to the sensor.

3.

Hook up the system to a PC using the parallel cable

provided.

4.

Place the iSensor™ CD into the PC’s CD drive and review

the ReadMeFirst.PDF file. Then install the software per

the instructions in this file.

SOFTWARE OPERATION

The iSensor™ Evaluation Software installation will provide

options for evaluating a number of products. Using the

Windows Start button, select Programs, then select Analog

Devices iSensor™, then select the product that is being

evaluated. The first time the software is started, the interface

will need to be set up per the ReadMeFirst.PDF file.

The software contains help files that describe each function of

the software. The right button on the mouse has the ability to

speed up changes when the Pointer is placed over titles, graph

axes and waveform data.

See Figure 4 (ADIS16003, ADIS16006), Figure 5 (ADIS16080,

ADIS16100), Figure 6 (ADIS16201), Figure 7 (ADIS16203), and

Figure 8 (ADIS16250) for basic software assistance.
