AWR1243: How to continuous trigger frames

Part Number: AWR1243

Hi, 

I'm able to capture data from HSDCPro with Radar Studio by clicking "TSW1400 ARM" and "Trigger Frame". However, when I need to get the data next time, I need to click those two buttons again. Is there a way to continuous trigger the frame without clicking the button?

I'm able to continuous taking the data from TSW1400 using Matlab function "calllib('HSDCProAutomation_64Bit','Get_FFT_Data',TimeoutInMs, f0, df, ActiveChannelFFT, FFTArrayLength)" but I can not trigger the frame from Matlab. Any solution?

Thanks.

Best Regards

  • Hello Min,

    One way I think you could try would be to write a LUA script to continuously call the ARM and Trigger functions. Take a look at page 13 of the RadarStudio User's Guide found at C:\ti\mmwave_dfp_00_07_00_04\rf_eval\docs for more information about LUA scripting in RadarStudio.

  • Hi, Adrian,

    Thanks for you information. I can run the LUA script in Radar Studio, however, I need to process the raw data in Matlab. Can I execute the LUA script in Matlab to trigger the frame? Or can I use any other method to trigger the radar in Matlab?

    Thanks.

  • Hello Min,

    You can execute the lua script in MATLAB to automate anything in Radar Studio. However, we do not currently have any documentation that describes this process so it is something that you would have to implement on your own.
