The Murata MEMS Evaluation Unit is Murata Electronics Oy's tool for evaluating MEMS sensors and the functions and key characteristics of different sensor families. The device is supplied with the user manual (Doc.No. 2249, Rev. 3) and includes a demo folder on a USB memory stick to start the installation and testing of the GUI environment. The Evaluation Unit demo software provides visual views of measurement results: charts and numerical indicators, chart area editing, freeze, zoom and screenshots as well as saving data to a file and more extensive data logging functions. The user interface includes measurement settings (e.g. data input sampling frequency, filtering, zeroing), display of status registers, the ability to read and write registers and send macro commands to automate evaluation. The software supports Windows and Linux environments (32- and 64-bit architectures). Java Runtime Environment (JRE) must be installed, and drivers for FTDI-based USB devices connected to the device must be installed; the install.sh script included with Linux configures the required UDEV permissions. On the hardware side, sensors can be mounted on a chip carrier board or connected to an external expansion board via a 16-pin connector. The Evaluation Board includes a USB interface, screw terminals for an external power supply, a reset button and a temperature sensor. If expansion boards with analog tilt or acceleration sensors are used, an external 7–15 V DC power supply is required. The manual also contains troubleshooting instructions, hardware connections and electrical specifications that support system installation and testing.
