Kit contents
STIM202 communication and power cable
Either of the two options for interface hardware;
o
PCI to RS422 interface card, "the PCI card",
for the PCI kit, supporting all gyro module transmission
bit rates (377400, 460800 and 921600 bits/s)
o
USB to RS422 interface cable, "the USB cable",
for the USB kit, supporting only the default gyro
module transmission bit rate (460800 bits/s)
Memory stick with PC software and User manual
Torx screw driver for fixing connector of communication and power cable to gyro module
Hard copy of User manual

Configurable and readable parameters
In addition to measurements, the evaluation kits provide access to the following gyro module user configurable
parameters:
Output format (angular rate, increment angle, etc.)
Datagram format (standard, extended, etc.)
Sampling rate (125 samples/s, 250 samples/s, etc.)
Bandwidth/ Low pass filter frequency (16Hz, 33Hz, etc.)
RS422 transmission bit rate (374400 bits/s, 460800 bits/s, etc.)
Number of stop bits in datagram (1 or 2 stop bits)
Parity bit (no parity, odd parity, even parity)
Line/ Datagram termination (on/off, None/ <CR><LF>)
The evaluation kits provide access to the following user readable gyro module parameters:
Unit part number
Serial number
Firmware revision
Hardware revision
Guro module diagonistics
Gyro module diagnostic information includes RAM and flash checks, stack handling checks, status of internal voltage
supply references, and various parameter reports for each measurement axis.
Note: External trigger functionality of STIM202 are not supported by the evaluation kits.
