IWR6843ISK: How can i parse the azimuth heatmap and range/Doppler heatmap from area scanner demo?

Part Number: IWR6843ISK

i find that the area scanner demo send azimuth heatmap and range/Doppler heatmap data as shown below.

However, i don't find the data strcture in the user guide. I want to know how to parse the azimuth heatmap and range/Doppler heatmap when i have received all the data from the serial.

  • Hello,

    These TLVs can only be sent if the device if the guiMonitor CLI commands is configured to do so. The default configuration files that are provided with the Area Scanner lab only send the detected objects TLV e.g. guiMonitor -1 1 0 0 0 0 0. Please refer to the following resources to understand the above TLVs as well as the default CLI commands that pertain to the OOB.

  • Hello,

    I have changed the cfg file and received the range/Doppler heatmap. Now, i want to know its data structure to phase it and plot it. Could you provide a description of its data structure?
