HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
To configure the hardware, follow these steps:
1.
Plug the USB A to Mini-B cable into the PC, if the cable is
not already connected.
2.
Connect the ISEB to the USB cable.
If prompted to install the device, see the Software
Configuration section for details on how to install and
select the correct driver.
3.
Connect the ISEB to the ADXL346 satellite using the
18-inch, 20-pin ribbon cable. This cable is keyed to prevent
inserting it backwards and causing damage to the system.
4.
Connect the ADXL346 satellite to the opposite end of the
ribbon cable.
5.
Verify that the jumpers located in the center of the
ADXL346 satellite are configured as shown in Figure 5.
