MAIN WINDOW

After the software completes the initialization process, the main

window (see Figure 10) appears. The main window (see Figure 10)

provides waveform recorders for basic demonstration, along with

the following menu bar options: Devices (device selection),

Register Access, Data Capture, USB Tools, and About (basic

information).

Waveform Recorder

After selecting the device for evaluation (see the Devices section),

click Read to start the waveform recorder function, and then move

the IMU to observe the signal response within the waveform

output boxes (see Figure 11 for an example). The Read button

changes to a Stop button when the waveform recorder is in

operation. Click Stop to turn the waveform recording off.

Right-click on one of the waveform output boxes to access a

pop-up control box, which provides options to add cursor

tracking, statistics, and scale and waveform division controls

(see Figure 12 for an example). The color coding corresponding

with the register names matches the color of each signal in the

waveform output.

MAIN WINDOW MENU BAR OPTIONS

Devices

Click Devices in the menu bar of the main window to select the

appropriate product for evaluation. Use the following steps to

change a unit while continuing to run the IMU evaluation

software:

1. Unplug the EVAL-ADIS from the PC USB and any other

power source.

2. Remove the existing DUT from the EVAL-ADIS.

3. Install the new DUT onto the EVAL-ADIS (see the IMU

Installation section).

4. Plug the EVAL-ADIS back into the PC USB.

5. Wait for LED1 to illuminate, indicating that the EVAL-ADIS

is ready for communication with the PC.

6. If the software does not recognize the EVAL-ADIS

automatically, click USB Tools and then click Connect to

establish communication (see Figure 15).

7. Select Devices and then the part number for the new DUT.
