INERTIAL SENSOR EVALUATION SYSTEM SETUP

DOWNLOADING ALL FILES TO A PC

Before proceeding with the installation routine, it is important
to first download all files included on the ADXRS800 install-
ation CD-ROM to a local folder on the host PC. Browse to a
destination directory on the host PC and right click to select
New/Folder. Name this folder, and copy the CD-ROM files into
this new location. You are now ready to begin the installation
routine.

ISEB HARDWARE SETUP

Before connecting the ISEB hardware to the PC via the included
USB cable, drivers must be installed so that the PC properly
recognizes the ISEB main board. The USB drivers for the ISEB
are available in the /ISEB_USB/ folder on the packaged CD.
Installing the USB Drivers for the ISEB
To install the USB drivers, follow these steps:
1. Execute the ADI_ISEB_USB_Drivers.exe file located in
/ISEB_USB/.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the drivers.
3. Click Continue Anyway when prompted that the drivers
are not tested.
After the above steps are complete, you can connect the ISEB
main board to the computer via the included USB cable. If the
previously installed drivers are not automatically associated
with the device, you may need to select the drivers manually, as
follows:
1. Connect the USB A to Mini-B cable to the PC and then to
the ISEB. The satellite board does not need to be connected
for this step. New hardware is detected upon completion of
this step.
2. If prompted to install drivers again, click Install from a list
or specific location (Advanced) (see Figure 2); then click
Next.

4. Select ADI Inertial Sensor Evaluation System from the
model list (see Figure 4), and click Next to complete the
process.
The ISEB should be detected automatically in the Device
Manager as the ADI Inertial Sensor Evaluation System under
the Ports (COM & LPT) selection. It is recommended to open
the Device Manager to verify hardware detection and to record the
communication port associated with the ISEB for use in the GUI.

COM PORT VERIFICATION

Installing the latest firmware revision, as well as operating the
ADXRS800 evaluation GUI, requires that you know the
communications port that is assigned to the ISEB main board.
With the ISEB main board connected to the PC, you should
perform the following steps to determine the assigned COM
port number.
