Software and Tools. The download file contains the USB driver

and IMU evaluation software (see Figure 5). Extract these files to a

directory on the PC and start the USB driver installation process.

USB DRIVER FILE INSTALLATION

The SDPDrivers.exe file contains USB drivers that are compatible

with both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows-based systems. Double-

click the SDPDrivers.exe file and follow the prompts to install

the USB driver files onto the PC. Figure 6 and Figure 7 show the

windows associated with this process.

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5

The IMU evaluation software requires the Microsoft .NET

Framework 3.5. If a PC has a more recent version, version 3.5 is

available for download from the Microsoft Download Center on

the Microsoft website.

SOFTWARE OPERATION

Start-Up Sequence

1. Plug the EVAL-ADIS into a PC USB port using the cable

that comes with the EVAL-ADIS kit. LED2 illuminates

immediately. The EVAL-ADIS goes through an initialization

process that takes approximately 10 sec, and then LED1

illuminates.

2. If the Hardware Select window indicates that no device was

found (see Figure 8), unplug the EVAL-ADIS from the PC,

wait 2 sec to 3 sec, and then plug the EVAL-ADIS back into

the PC-SUB port.

3. After LED1 illuminates, click Rescan in the Hardware

Select window. LED1 starts blinking, and the Hardware

Select window updates with an option to select the device

(see Figure 9).

4. Click Select. The program completes the connection and

opens the main window (see Figure 10).
