Setup ("MD1D connected via USB Adapter - MB3U-I2C")

The board features one 10-pin connectors for serial SPI communication. The PC-USB Adapter iC-MB3 iC-SY
MB3U-I2C enables the evaluation board to be connected to a common Windows PC via SPI interface. iC-MD
software can be used to access the board from a Windows PC (see section "APPLICATION SOFTWARE" for
more details).
Note : Please install the latest USB driver before you attach the PC Adapter to the PC.

APPLICATION SOFTWARE
iC-MD software for PCs running on Windows operating systems, as well as the required USB driver are available
as a ZIP file. Download from http://www.ichaus.de/product.php?prod=iC-MD
Installation
After unzipping the "iC-MD_xx.zip", the following files are located in the selected directory.
(xx is a placeholder for revisions)

iC-MD_xx.msi
mb3u_usb_driver.exe
MD1d_qig_a4es.pdf
readme.txt
Note : Administrator rights are required to run installations.
1. The installation of the software starts by executing the iC-MD_xx.msi installation package.
Follow the on-screen instructions to finish the installation procedure.
2. USB driver need to be installed to access the evaluation board via the PC Adapter.
Execute the mb3u_usb_dirver.exe installation package and follow the on-screen instructions. This process
can take a few minutes.
3. Installation will make the software "iC-MD_xx.exe" available in the selected working directory. The execution
of this file will start the software. Figure 3 shows a screenshot of the start up window.

Instruction
The iC-MD software features:

Manually setting up parameters of iC-MD

Saving parameter configuration to HEX files
Loading predefined configurations from HEX files
Reading and displaying of sensor data

The iC-MD software will start up and try to connect the adapter directly. If the adapter is not available it will
be locked in a "No Hardware" mode. This state can be used to configure parameters without any hardware
connected to save the configuration into a Hex-file for later use.
