GETTING STARTED
Before running the software evaluation GUI, it is a good idea to
reset the ISEB by pressing the SW2 button described in the
Installing the Latest ISEB Firmware section. This removes any
errors that may be lingering due to an improper shutdown or
disconnection from the PC.
After completion of the software GUI installation routine, a
shortcut to launch the executable file is added to the
Start
menu. To launch the evaluation GUI, click
Start
, then
All
Programs
,
Analog Devices – Inertial Sensor Eval
,
ADXRS450
Evaluation Software
, and finally
ADXRS450 Eval
. A window
similar to the one shown in Figure 18 is displayed.
At this point, the functionality of the GUI is completely deac-
tivated. Before testing any devices, you must associate the
software GUI with the previously installed hardware via the
COM port. Follow the instructions in the COM Port
Verification section to determine which COM port is assigned
to the Analog Devices Inertial Sensor Evaluation System. Select
this COM port from the drop-down list, and click
Confirm
COM
to begin using the GUI.
After the COM port is confirmed, the full functionality of the
software evaluation GUI is available for you to use. You can exit
the GUI at any time by clicking
QUIT PROGRAM
located in the
lower right of the start-up window.
Troubleshooting
If the ISEB board and the software evaluation GUI do not
appear to be properly communicating, perform the following
reset routine:
1.
Close the software GUI by clicking
QUIT PROGRAM
or
by selecting
File/Exit
.
2.
When the software GUI is closed, reset the ISEB evaluation
board by pressing the reset button (SW2).
3.
Restart the software GUI.
Note that you should not press the reset button (SW2) while the
GUI is running. This causes the ISEB and the software GUI to
disconnect from each other and causes the evaluation system to
no longer function properly.
