FAQ; EVAL-ADIS Software Development Tools, LabVIEW

Q:

Do you have any examples for using LabVIEW to manage device evaluation on the EVAL-ADIS evaluation system?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A:

Please see the attached file, along with the figures in this post.  This code comes from LabVIEW 2011, 32-bit. Note that this code requires that that the read rates be at least 5Hz. Now, our question back to you is, "is this useful?"  Please post your questions and feedback. This represents a "test run" for this type of software support, which does not automatically come with the purchase of the EVAL-ADIS.

    Thank you for your feedback.  Let me run this by our software team and find out if we can support an update these code examples.  I am sorry that I didn't anticipate this difficulty when we updated our drivers (why only newest software works).  The reason that these code examples are not a core part of our strategy is that it is not how they are used in most applications.  Our IMUs are typically paired with an embedded processor, which manages the data interface between the IMU and the rest of the system.  Many staff members are on vacation over the next two weeks, so this might take a little bit of time to close on. Thanks again!

  • Hi i'm desperately trying to use any of your ADIS programming resources. Except for the newest "IMU Evaluation Software for the EVAL-ADISx Platforms (Rev. v1.18.9 12/7/2017)" --> "IMU_Evaluation.exe" none of the software packages seem to work.

    I am especially interested in LabView (since the temperature and rate table setup is written in LV).

    I fear that it all boils down to poorly written .dll's as so many before have pointed out.

    What i tried: I downloaded the LabVIEW tools above, and opened them in 32bit LabVIEW v2015 or v2017.

    2 Errors occur:

    Error 1) in ReadArray-->AdisObject:ReadStream with message Invoke Node: Contains unwired or bad terminal

    Error 2) in ReadArray-->AdisObject:ReadRegArray with message Invoke Node: Contains unwired or bad terminal

    when i recreate both nodes and rewire them the "addr" field gets a red dot but the VI becomes executable!

    For a short time it worked but now whenever i start the VI and press connect errors occur

    "Can not load specific resource: EvalAdisApi.resources, Version=1.0.2.3537, Culture=de-DE, PublicKeyToken=null"

    5 times and after that

    "Unable to connect to an EVAL_ADIS board.. Error Message: SPDERROR 110005:no connection made"

    retrying leads to the appearance of a window "Hardware Select" with Text "An SDP system was found, but the daughterboard was not detected....Wait ~40secs and Rescan."

    However rescanning will never lead to a successful detection.

    The 64 bit dll (FAQ; EVAL-ADIS2 Software Development Tools, VB.NET DLL (64-bit) ) and the 32 bit dll (FAQ; EVAL-ADIS Software Development Tools, VB.NET DLL ) have more or less the same errors except there is no labview involved.

    Btw. i use Win7 64bit.

    I know that you say you don't support thes Software but since this error basically makes all of your code examples useless i hope you find some time to dig in and find the error. Your customers will defininitely be grateful for that!

    Luckily I have a spare Windows laptop on me! I downloaded LabVIEW 2014 and tried running the attached file. Thankfully it brought down my errors from over 100 to just two. It seems like it is having issues with the invoke nodes labeled "Adis Object". The exact details for both said "One or more required inputs to this function are not wired or are wired incorrectly. Show the Context Help window to see what the connections to this function should be." I fear that one of the main reasons I am having this issue is due to version compatibility. Do you have any advice for trying to diagnose the issues at hand here?  Any help is appreciated greatly!

    Hello! Thank you for giving this a shot. Unfortunately, we have no direct experience in using our evaluation tools with iOS so I am afraid that I am not going to be much help for this case.  Fortunately, Windows-compatible laptops are fairly inexpensive, as some have acquired machines just for this purpose.
