Preparing to Use the Software

(1) Fix the IMU on and connect the IMU to the USB Interface Board and then connect a USB cable
between the USB Interface Board and the PC.
(2) If the driver software (USB Serial Converter, USB Serial Port (COMx) is requested when the USB
Interface board is connected, install the driver using either of the following two methods.
• Update the driver via Windows Device Manager. (Automatic Update over the Internet is
recommended.)
• Access the FTDI website (http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm) and download the appropriate
driver for the OS you are using.
(3) If the display update of the Software is sluggish, go to Device Manager > USB Serial Port (COMx) >
Port Settings > Advanced, and change the setting of the Latency Time (msec) in BM Options from
"16" (default) to "1". This may improve the situation.
