AWR1642BOOST: RadarStudio: How to use the ProfManager and the chirpManager function?

user5223549

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST

Dear TI support，

I am using the RadarStudio, and I want to change the ADC Start time Var value in the RadarStudio->SensorConfig->Chirp->Manage Chirp.

I want to set different value for the different chirp.

I have set different parameters for the different ''Chirp No.'' in ChirpManager. but only the configuration parameters in the last line are useful.

There is no detailed description of ChirpManager and ProfManager in document "Radar Studio GUI".

Is there any relevant user's guide.

Thank you in advance for your response.

Hi,

Chirp RAM and Chirp Profile are described in Section 4 of this document

Hi Cesar,

I have read this document, and I know that you can configure chirp differently.

I don't quite understand the use of ProfManager in RadarStudio.

When I set "Activate" to load all the different configure, the capture raw data is only the last line configured data.

For example

the ProfManager is

the ChirpManger is

Therefore, The first chirp in the first Frame shouldn't be exactly the same as the second to the ninth chirp in the capture raw data.

but the first chirp is same as the fifth chirp.

This result is the same as configuring "Profile ID" and "Chirp No.9" separately.

Regards,

Xian

Hi Xian,

You need to use End Chirp TX as 9 as you are defining 10 chirps (0-9). Reduce the Chirp Loops to ~10

Hi Kaushal.

I did as you said, but as soon as I change End Chirp TX, the RadarStudio will report a mistake.

[09:00:55] [RadarAPI]: Status: Passed
[09:00:55] [RadarAPI]: ar1.FrameConfig(0, 9, 100, 10, 40, 0, 1)
[09:00:55] [RadarAPI]: Status: Failed, Error Type: CHIRP USED IN THE FRAME IS NOT CONFIGURED BY AWR_CHIRP_CONF_SET_SB
[09:00:55] [RadarAPI]: MatlabProc Status: Failed

Everything else is default.

Thanks

Hi Xian,

Looks like there is known problem with the Chirp manager. It is only configuring 1 chirp.
e2e.ti.com/.../710732

Recommend you to configure using Set button or LUA API.
for e.g . - ar1.ChirpConfig(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0)
