Automate AFE4490SPO2EVM data collection

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AFE4490SPO2EVM

Hi, 

I have a AFE4490SPO2EVM  kit, and I wanted a way so that I can automate the data collection. Actually, I want to synchronize two device (eg two EVMs, or an ECG and EVM). What is the easiest way to do it.

Is there a python API for this? Then, it will be really simple. 

Thanks and Regards

  • We do not have a python API. What are you trying to do with the automation? Sweeping across different settings? Data collection over a long period of time? Are you trying to collect data from the 2 EVMs at the same time, but separately?

  • I want to synchronize a camera (could be software triggered) and this EVM. In future, I will need to synchronize two EVMs, an ECG and a camera. 

    By synchronization i mean all have to start collecting data at the same time, and stop at the same time (~1ms accuracy will be fine). 

    Thanks and Regards

  • Mayank,

    I apologize for the delayed response. Unfortunately we do not have any scripts to synchronize 2 devices.

  • Amy,

    I am also looking for a way to synchronize the data from this device with another medical device. I understand that you do not have an available API, so is there some way to precisely time stamp the data from the device with the time that collection is started? That way, even though I cannot start the devices synchronously, I could match up the saved data with time-stamped data from another device. As far as I can tell, the "include time stamp" option in the GUI only stamps the data with the time that the file is saved, not the time that collection was started. Thanks for your help.

  • if you succeed to have the right MSP source code, you find find information inside and write you own GUI. From the source code I have I can read:

        if(uartOpCode == 0x41)// Set stream on
        {
          setStreamOn();
          sendStreamOn(); //Send Confirmation message
        }
        else if(uartOpCode == 0x42) //Set stream off
        {
         setStreamOff();
         sendStreamOff(); //Send Confirmation message
        }

  • Jon,

    Unfortunately there is not a way to precisely time stamp the data from the device apart from developing a new GUI. We are happy to provide our MSP430 source code, but out GUI does not support the time stamp feature.
