ADIS16360

[Sochin]

I'm completely new to NI & LabView.

The objective: operate and evaluate the ADIS16360 6 DOF IMU from Analog Devices.

I have LabView 2011 with a cDAQ-9174 CompactDAQ, and a NI 9401 DI/O module.

It appears the the driver for the ADIS16350 (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/6264)

is specfic to a RIO interface. 

Is this not compatible with the CompactDAQ ?

An attempt to load a VI from this driver set results in a failure to find 'NiRioSrv.dll'

Thanks.

Now I see that that the RIO has an FPGA that is used for comms with the SPI,

whereas the CompactDAQ does not. 

Suggestions on the path of least resistance to getting this IMU running?

From what you have described and the information I found on the ADIS16360 you should be able to acquire signals from the IMU on your NI 9401.

The driver you found seems to interface with a RIO. However, if you know how the data will come in, you can acquire it using your NI 9401. You would then have to scale it to get the information you are interested in. This is something that the driver probably does. You may be able to look at the Block Diagrams for some of the driver VI's to know how the data converts to units you are interested in.
