This repository contains all evaluation software for the EVAL-ADIS-FX3 iSensor evaluation board. The EVAL-ADIS-FX3 is the latest addition to the iSensor evaluation portfolio and was designed from the ground up to provide users with an easy-to-use solution for capturing reliable inertial data in lab and characterization environments. The EVAL-ADIS-FX3 incorporates the ability to capture inertial sensor data at maximum throughput while interfacing with external test equipment and reacting to external triggers.
In addition to launching a redesigned hardware platform, we’ve also developed a robust API that allows users to quickly build custom applications that capture reliable sensor data. We’ve included many useful features into the API that enable designers to characterize sensor performance in any .NET compatible environment.
The documentation for the iSensor FX3Api can be accessed here:
https://analogdevicesinc.github.io/iSensor-FX3-Eval/
Hardware design files for the evaluation board are provided in the /hardware directory.
The custom windows driver installer is provided in the /drivers directory
Register map definition files for all supported iSensor products are provided in the /RegMaps directory
The wrapper library provides a simplified interface for working with an IMU in languages which support .NET interop, such as Python, Matlab, and Labview.
The iSensor FX3 Evaluation GUI documentation and user guide has been moved to the official Analog Devices Wiki:
https://wiki.analog.com/resources/eval/user-guides/inertial-mems/evaluation-systems/eval-adis-fx3
The iSensor FX3 Eval GUI can be easily compiled and modified without purchasing any software or IDE.
Before attempting to compile the iSensor FX3 Eval GUI, ensure that the FX3 Driver is installed. This can be downloaded from the wiki (linked above)
The iSensor FX3 Eval GUI is currently Windows only. It requires Microsoft .NET framework 4.5 or newer to be installed.
The iSensor FX3 Eval GUI can be compiled and modified using the Visual Studio IDE. Visual studio community is fully featured and available for free use on open source projects

- Clone the iSensor FX3 Eval repository using the git client of your choice. Note, this repo has the iSensor FX3 API as a submodule dependency, which must be initialized as well. This can be done from Git bash using the following single command:
- git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/iSensor-FX3-Eval.git
- Open the project file within Visual Studio. File -> Open -> Project/Solution -> Browse for iSensorFX3Eval.vbproj within the src/ folder of the repository
- Build the project by right clicking on the iSensorFX3Eval project within the visual studio solution explorer and clicking "Build"
That's it! Now you can run and debug within the iSensor FX3 GUI. To make modifications to any forms included within the GUI, simply right click on the form in the solution explorer, and select "View Designer". This will open the GUI designer tool for that form. The startup form is set to "TopGUI.vb"
