Photograph of Inertial Sensor Evaluation System GENERAL DESCRIPTION The iSensor family of products provides a serial peripheral inter- option uses a linear regulator, 400 F of bulk capacitance, and a face (SPI) for data communications. The SPI interface and a soft start circuit to manage transient currents on the USB port. well-calibrated cluster of sensors enable quick integration into The evaluation software packages, which support operation systems that employ embedded processor systems. For users who with the EVAL-ADIS, typically offer three modes of operation: are familiar with embedded processors, integrating the iSensor demonstration, register access, and data capture. In most cases, the device with a familiar processor system enables development demonstration mode will be a simple waveform recorder function, with familiar software tools, provides more flexibility, and enables which provides a simple visual response to sensor motion. The more design reuse after the initial sensor evaluation is complete. waveform recorder is useful in concept demonstrations or For users who are unfamiliar with embedded processors and functional verification of units. Individual register read and their development tools, the EVAL-ADIS system provides a write cycles are available in the Register Access window. PC simple PC-based tool for getting started with iSensor products. data acquisition is available using the Data Capture window, The EVAL-ADIS circuit board provides tapped holes (M2 which provides various control inputs, including data register 0.4 mm), and the kit includes an assortment of M2 0.4 mm selection, data file format, and data storage location. In data capture mode, the EVAL-ADIS reads and stores data from each machine screws for a simple device under test (DUT) attach- selected register every time that the sensors data-ready signal ment. The location of the mounting holes facilitates easy pulses. This synchronous capture mode supports the electrical connection with the mating connectors (J1 or J4 ADIS16488 on the EVAL-ADIS). (10 registers, 16-bits wide, 2.46 kSPS) The power management system provides jumper selection for The EVAL-ADIS kit includes a USB mini cable for quick three device under test (DUT) power options: 5 V (USB), 3.3 V, connection to a PC. The IMU evaluation software package and an external power option. The 5 V option provides access supports operation on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and to the USBs 5 V supply voltage for the DUT, and the 3.3 V Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit) PC systems.
