INERTIAL SENSOR EVALUATION SYSTEM SETUP

SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION

Software configuration of the inertial sensor evaluation system involves installation of USB drivers for the ISEB and National Instruments LabVIEW® Run-Time and NI-VISA™ Run-Time files. These are available in the /Drivers/ 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 /Drivers/ISEB_USB/.

2.Follow the on-screen instructions to install the drivers.

3.Click Continue Anyway when prompted that the drivers are not tested.

It may be necessary to manually select the correct drivers after installation. To select the drivers, follow these steps.

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.

3.Select Don’t search. I will choose the driver to install. (see Figure 3) and select ADI Inertial Sensor Evaluation System from the model list (see Figure 4).

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.

Installing the LabVIEW and NI-VISA Run-Time Engines

After installing the USB drivers, install the LabVIEW and NI-VISA run-time engines. To ensure that the drivers are installed properly, it is recommended that you reboot when prompted.

1.Execute the LVRTE851std.exe file located in the /Drivers/ folder.

2.Follow the on-screen instructions to complete installation of the LabVIEW run-time engine.

3.Reboot the PC.

4.Locate and execute the visa441runtime.exe file located in the /Drivers/ folder to install the NI-VISA run-time engine.

5.Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

6.Reboot the PC.
