AFE4400 EVM - grab data in real time

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AFE4400

Hello,

I am using your AFE4400 EVM to record PPG data, then import into MATLAB (or Excel) for processing and calculation of the SPO2 and HR. I noticed that the MCU is the MSP430 so I'm assuming that one could write a Windows application to interface with the MCU and pull data from it that way, I was just wondering if there was an easier way.

In essence what I would like to do would be:

  1. Still use the GUI to edit/configure the registers of the AFE4400 EVM
  2. But instead of using the capture and analysis function of the GUI instead possible have just this function in some sort of command line tool that connects to the device and pulls the data from it continuously
  3. Then I could expand the program to calculate the SPO2 values and HR in my command line tool. I have taken a look at this page RE the MCU  but I don't want to write a program for the MSP430, just to connect and grab the data from it. (final thing would be to connect the command line program to MATLAB to ensure data is available straight away for on-the-fly processing)

If you could point me in the right direction RE development (or even had a simple C program/command line tool that could do this) that would be great.

The application is to speed up the development of a reflective SPO2 system (by using the EVM to quickly test new configurations).

Many thanks,

Christian
