FAQ; EVAL-ADIS Software Development Tools, VB.NET DLL

Q:

Do you have a VB.NET software development kit (SDK) for  the EVAL-ADIS?

A:

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

The EVAL-ADIS provides a basic communication conduit between Windows-PCs and many of the iSensor products (ADIS16xxx).  It provides functional evaluation support to those who were also developing a direct interface between an ADIS16xxx product and their preferred SPI-compatible processor.  Custom software development is not listed as a "feature" or "promised function" in any of the EVAL-ADIS documentation, but the attached file provides a potential starting point for prototype data collection.  Download this file to access the VB.NET DLL file, along with an example VB.NET project. The project file provides examples for reading registers, writing to registers and a streaming data acquisition function.

    Hi Mark. Yes, it has no problem with working in x64 platform since Windows OS takes care of it. But what I want is make my own interface with C++ (VS2013). What I meant was to use this DLL file in Visual Studio in x64 platform. I have managed to make a C++ interface with the provided DLL using VS Common Language Runtime Support which works well for x86 platform. But it doesn't work in x64 platform. Also, the example project (ExampleApp written in Visual Basic using VS2008) provided in Visual Basic doesn't work if platform configuration is changed to x64 (You may confirm this by going in Build -> Configuration manager and change platform to x64 (you may need to add this configuration by selecting <New...>). The provided DLL was built for x86 platform. You can make DLL for x64 by recompiling the source code for x64 platform.

    Thank you for your post and interest in these products. From what I understand, the EVAL-ADIS uses a 32-bit interface, but its USB driver enables it to run on a 64-bit platform. I will ask our software developer about this when we return from our holiday break, but I suspect that the existing DLL will be all we can provide st this time. What type of software are you trying to develop?

    This DLL file only works in x86 platform (32-bit), and there doesn't seem to be a DLL file for x64 platform. Could you please provide me with DLL for x64 platform?

    Thank you for your post. The original developer of these code examples is no longer with the company and we really don't market the EVAL-ADIS as a development platform, so this is outside of my area of focus at this time.  I will see what I can do.  Perhaps someone else has had to deal with this in a another use case can share how they addressed this.

    Which Matlab post where you referring to?

    Provided version 5 version of .net DLL works well, however,

    attached error come to appear when instance of AdisObject is created.

    One connection is established after showing these error dialog(this appears 3 or 4 times),

    the data are captured correctly.

    This may be caused by same reason to the error in Matlab which is already posted.

    I could not find how to attach appropriate resource to dll(?).

    Is it possible to make the dll not to depend on specific resourses?
