GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADISUSB is a PC-USB evaluation system that enables basic
demonstration of many SPI-output iSensor® products (sold
separately). It provides 2mm screw holes for simple attachment
of all iSensor® products listed in Table 2, along with all
necessary cabling for connecting these devices to the USB port.
This system provides sensor data on-demand, through the USB,
at read rates up to 900SPS. Since the USB ports are serviced by
their PC’s interrupt structure, sampling in this system in not
perfectly coherent. However, in most PCs, the sample
coherence is sufficient for most datasheet parametric
verification, including in-run bias stability. This system will
run on MS Windows® XP, NT, and 2000.

GETTING STARTED QUICKLY
Step #1 - Download software to PC
Go to www.analog.com/isensor-evaluation, click on “Evaluation
Software Downloads,” click on the appropriate software
package, and follow the prompts to save it to a temporary
location on the local PC. The iSensor® Documentation CD
provides software packages as well, but the iSensor Evaluation
Tool web site provides the latest versions of each software
package.
Step #2 - Install evaluation software package
Unzip the installation package to a temporary location, and
then double-click on setup.exe, and follow the prompts. When
asked to replace system files, click “No,” and the evaluation
software will still work fine. Refer to Figure 1, Figure 2, and
Figure 3 for windows that will appear during this step.
Step #3 - Install giveio.exe driver
The giveio.exe driver is located in the software’s new directory,
which is normally under a subdirectory called “Analog Devices
iSensor®,” located in the Program Files folder. Double-click on
the file, giveio.exe, and follow the prompts to install this driver.
Refer to Figure 4, Figure 5, and Figure 6 for windows that will
appear during this Step.
Step #4 - Install USB driver
Connect the A-to-B USB cable to the PC, and then to the
ADISUSBZ PCB. The USB driver installation screen will
automatically appear on the screen in a few seconds. Follow the
prompts to install this driver. On some machines, the driver
installation screen will appear again, after clicking on “Finish.”
In this case, follow the prompts and complete the process. Refer
to Figure 7 and Figure 8 for the windows that will appear during
this step. Once complete, disconnect the cable from the
ADISUSBZ.
Step #5 - Connect ADIS16xxx/PCB to USB Interface PCB
Use the provided 2mm machine screws to secure the product
under test. Refer to Figure 9 through Figure 12 for alignment
assistance. The ADIS16xxx/PVBZ parts also require the 12-pin
ribbon cable installation displayed in these figures.

Note: If a product is listed twice, it can be run at +3.3 or +5V.
Step #6 - Launch evaluation software
Hook the ADISUSBZ to the USB cable and then launch the
evaluation software by double clicking on its *.exe file. The
program will also be in the Start Programs menu in Windows.
Figure 15 though Figure 21 offers some basic insights into the
operation of each product’s evaluation software. Note to
European users: some software is sensitive to the decimal
notation. If large or unreasonable numbers are observed,
change the PC’s regional setting to USA. Software packages are
being updated to fix this, but were not complete at the time of
this document’s release.
