Figure 1. Inertial Sensor Evaluation System
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADXRS800 inertial sensor evaluation system is an easy-to-
use evaluation tool targeting bench or desktop characterization
of Analog Devices, Inc., inertial sensor products. The system
consists of the inertial sensor evaluation board (ISEB), or main
board, and a satellite board for any Analog Devices inertial sensor
product. The ISEB connects directly to a PC via a USB cable,
with the USB connection providing both power and commun-
ications to the board. The ISEB is connected to the satellite
board through a ribbon cable. This cable allows the satellite to
be easily manipulated for testing or separately placed into an
environmental chamber for temperature or humidity testing.
Separating the boards mitigates corruption of data due to the
temperature and humidity effects of other components.
The ISEB is a universal main board and is intended to be used
with various satellites of Analog Devices inertial sensors, including
analog and digital accelerometers and gyroscopes. The different
products are evaluated by means of separate GUIs that are
customized for performance and characterization measurements
relevant to the inertial sensor being evaluated.
The EVAL-ADXRS800Z-M system contains the ISEB and the
EVA L-ADXRS800Z-S satellite. Also included is a USB A to
Mini-B cable to connect the ISEB to a PC and an 18 inch, 20-pin
ribbon cable to connect the ISEB to the satellite. A CD is
included with the necessary drivers and installers to use the
system and to quickly begin evaluating the ADXRS800.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
The following steps must be completed, in the order listed, to
successfully set up and run the ADXRS800 evaluation system:
1. Download all CD-ROM files to the PC hard drive.
2. Install the USB drivers for the inertial sensor evaluation
system (ISEB).
3. Connect the ISEB hardware to the PC.
4. Install the latest firmware revision into the ISEB hardware
(included on the CD-ROM).
5. Install the ADXRS800 evaluation system GUI.
6. Configure the ISEB hardware.
7. Launch the ADXRS800 evaluation system GUI and test
devices.
This guide is designed to provide all the detail necessary to
install and operate the ADXRS800 evaluation system.
