AWR1642: different frame config result in different result wehn PostProc in mmwave studio

Hi,

I agree with you. I do not see any reason there should be a difference in terms of overall frame construction or number of frames between the two methods. So both methods should allow you to post post-process the resulting samples in the same manner.

I will bring this up with the mmWave studio developers. It will probably take me a few days before I can get back to you with a reply.

Thank you,
Randy

thanks Randy.

follow your steps in Miscellaneous options, i get the same result. But a few question i want to ask further to understand the principle.

1/"When you construct a frame using chirp-profiles the post processing script does not assume that every chirp is identical in construction. "

Does it mean the post processing script assmues every chirp is not identical in any construction case( including my case here) ?  the post processing script does not care whether the chirps are really identical or not?

2/ "cases like yours where the chirps are identical, or you just want to ignore differences in chirp to chirp construction."

I want to conform "ignore differences " 's meaning:

The right understand i think :

Here the chirps are identical in my case, but  the the post processing script takes the chirps differently. So "ignore differences " means telling  the the post processing script  ignores the difference which the script itself causes.

Not this understanding:

 when chirps are different(different parameter/ differernt profile id or any way),  the post processing script porcesss takes all the chirps as one same parameter. The same parameter comes from one of all chirps.

3/" Selecting the option "Chirp configs with dissimilar profileID are processed separately""

According to question1, "the post processing script does not assume that every chirp is identical in construction" means even i config the chirps the same profileID in mmwave studio, the post processing script itself labels every chirp different feature when processing data ?

4/ Using you steps in Miscellaneous options, i  get the same result.it seems the key point lies in how to set miscellaneous options. this relates to postprocess, not relates to config in mmwave studio.

Now problem is :

i use the programme in swra581-xWR1xxx ADC Raw Data Captur to process the adc data and encounter the same problem.

the programme can get the plot for the case1 in fig1.

But it can not get the plot for the case2 in fig2.

How can i solve the problem? ADC dada is same, the key point is what is the difference before/after setting miscellaneous to the process programme? it relates to how to read and process the data.

 

5/Now that "the post processing script does not assume that every chirp is identical in construction" , it means the post processing script knows how many chirps it processes or it knows how many chirps i config in the mmwave studio.

 Why the result only show 1chirp ( txEnable=1 0 0) in the right side of  postproc plot in the thread

https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensor/mmwave_sensors/f/1023/t/718418 ?

set miscellaneous options to ignore differences in chirp to chirp construction, how does postproc show me the two chirp in the right side of postproc plot.

(I do not know whether I reply the post here is suitable or not.)

Sorry, revise some something in the last post.
7/ i can plot the map following your steps for fig1 and fig2 in this thread.
But the problem is still not OK in the thread e2e.ti.com/.../718418
the mmave studio cannot still show me the right different chirps information for TDM MIMOframe.

Maybe mmwave stuido can not show the right different chirps information , i can just ignore the bug.
Am i right

However, i suggest mmwave studio in the next version can add the function which mmwave studio can shows me the frame construction information and each chirp parameter infromation either in some mmwave studio tap or in the postproc windows.

i think this additional function can re-confirm the configurated frame and chirp in the mmwave studio corresponds to what i want in my mind.

Thanks Randy，i post a new thread and re-edit my question.

Hi， Randy.

for the problem the miscellaneous option, i find new further problem.

And i have post it itn the thread e2e.ti.com/.../721535.

Please follow-up.

Thanks.
